Virtual Walkathon
Friday, October 30th through Friday, November 13th
Run at your own time and pace!
Get your walking shoes on! Our 10th annual Walkathon this year will be held virtually from October 30th through November 6th. All kids K through 5th grade can participate in this fun and easy fundraising event for the PTO. The kids walk/run miles at their own time and pace during the week, with the option of earning pledges per mile or a fixed donation. Last year the Walkathon raised about $13K! This year, more than ever, we need and appreciate your help.
For the past 4 year we have used an online fundraising tool called pledgestar. With Pledgestar, kids can solicit donations from family members and friends; those choosing to support the kids can make their donations through the Pledgestar site. Please see below or click here for a registration link and details:
When you finish, the system emails pledge requests to your family and friends and allows them to make secure credit card donations online. You will be notified each time a pledge is made, and you can track your pledge progress online
Pledges can also be collected as cash or checks (made payable to Bishop PTO) and mailed to the school or dropped at the front office. They can also be made directly by clicking the "Donate" button on the top of this page. Please be sure to have friends and family indicate that this is for Walkathon and also note which child(ren) they’re supporting.
