Walk-A-Thon 2018
____________________________
Goal of $100 per walker
What is the Walkathon?
A school-wide fundraiser where students will get pledges and walk laps on a marked course to raise money for St. Catherine of Siena School. This fun day promotes a healthy, active lifestyle for our students, while we raise much needed funds to support special projects and activities. If each student raised $100, we will reach our goal!
In class writing project! Bring in 10 names of friends or family you would like to ask for help. The form letter will be prepared in class and mailed to your contacts directing them to our online giving page!
Ask for donations. Use your pledge form and with your parents permission, ask local friends and family for donations.
Business Sponsorships. Get local businesses or ask friends and family who own businesses to sponsor you.
What if I can't reach my goal?
Just do what you can! Everyone will participate regardless of goal attainment.
Walkathon T-shirts sponsored by local businesses for everyone.
What will we do with the $ we raise?
The moneys raised will go towards our school and will be decided by the student body along with the administration where to best use the funds. Some ideas are: This year we would like the funds to go towards school beautification projects, expanding our school garden to be utilized with our new science lab and STEM program, and to increase our enrichment programs. Your tax-deductible gift will help make a difference in the lives of current students like me and for those in years to come. These things are all possible with your participation and support.
Where do we walk?
5th -8th grade loops around the school and parish grounds, up to the soccer field, along the Shelton Road sidewalk in front of the Church and to the backyard of St. Catherine's School! Walkers stay together with their class.
Pre-k-4th grade – take a smaller route and stay on school and parish grounds only.
All students are always accompanied by teachers and VIRTUS trained volunteers.
