Walk-a-Thon
Sunday, Oct 16, 2022
After a 3 year hiatus, Walkathon is back!
One of our main FUNdraising events (with emphasis on FUN) is Walkathon, in which parents, children, teachers and administrators all come together to walk and have a picnic afterwards, while raising funds to support Clarendon programs.
This joint event for JBBP and Second Community raises about 15% of the funds that are used by both JBBP and Second Community to pay for things like PE, K-3 Music, Social Emotional Learning, Japanese Cultural Programs as well as classroom funds. While the school always needs to fundraise, our MAIN goal this year is community building and participation. We would love to see 75% of the kids and their families walking at the Lincoln track to support Clarendon!
When:
Sunday, Oct 16. Registration opens at 9:15 am, Walkathon begins at 10 am
Where:
Lincoln High School track
Entrance to the track is close to the corner of 22nd Ave and Santiago St. Please see the map.
how does it work?
We walk, the whole family, and have a lot of fun doing it.
Find your Student Page on our fundraising platform. Donations will be directly linked to your student’s name. Use this web page to ask family and friends to sponsor your student. Mention how this Walk-a-Thon will motivate our kids to keep physically fit and healthy!
On Sunday, Oct 16, we walk. We play music, we have a "Half Time" show, get some exercise and then a picnic with games for the kids.
We tally the laps
prizes
All kids that participate (no matter the funds raised) will get a very cool medal! On top of that, the 3 classes with the highest participation will earn their class a pizza party to be planned the week before the Thanksgiving Break!
Walkathon t-shirt
Have you seen them? Shirts will be available in person after and before school. We are trying to get an online sale option as well. Shirts will also be available for sale at the event on Oct 16 - they are not required to walk! So even if you don’t have a shirt, you can participate and we hope that you will!
how can I get involved?
You can start hitting your friends, families and acquaintances for Walkathon pledges, and you can also volunteer! We need a lot of help to make this much loved dual community event a success. We cannot do this without you - our community volunteers - sign up for volunteer shifts today!
