Walk-a-Thon

Sunday, Oct 15, 2023

Please join the annual Clarendon Walkathon!
This is a school-wide event, so that means EVERYONE is invited and encouraged to participate! The Walkathon is a super fun way to raise money for our two amazing programs that keep Clarendon so special - JBBP and SC.

The kids absolutely love Walkathon! Whether the weather is foggy, sunny, or cold or lava or rainbows. They love it and have a blast! We all have fun, and the students feel a special pride getting to contribute to their programs' fundraiser. So come out, meet other families, grab a bite to eat, and have an all around great time. It’s a fun event the whole family can enjoy, while also supporting our wonderful school.

When:
Sunday, Oct 15. 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?

This year we have the ability to contribute a set amount, or pay per lap! With the new fundraising platform, 99 Pledges, you can casually (or not so casually) ask anyone to pledge ANY amount towards your child's Walkathon laps. So get all your friends and family involved! Get them to share your child's link. Anyone can donate and contribute any amount towards your child's goal! 

  1. You will be receiving an email from 99 Pledges with a unique link to your child's page (Look in your spam filter if you didn’t get the email)

  2. Update the photo and/or change the fundraising goal

  3. Share their page with family and friends. Donations will be directly linked to your student’s name

  4. On Sunday, Oct 15, we walk, and have a lot of fun doing it

  5. We tally the laps

Note: When donating, there will be a grey box for a tip. The tip goes to the hosting provider:  99 Pledges.
