Cherry Crest Walkathon 2026: What an Amazing Day!

Dear Cherry Crest Families,

What a fantastic Walkathon! The energy, enthusiasm, and school spirit on display were truly inspiring. Students walked, cheered, danced, and supported one another throughout the event, creating memories that will last all year long.

Most importantly, our Cherry Crest community came together to support the programs, enrichment opportunities, and experiences that make our school extraordinary.

On behalf of the Cherry Crest PTSA, thank you to every student, parent, teacher, volunteer, sponsor, and donor who made this event possible.

Thank You for Your Incredible Support

While we did not quite reach our goal of $40,000, our community still raised an impressive. Half way there!! Please submit your employer matching soon. You can let us know by filling this form after matching to be counted towards goals.

💙 $28,681 💙 

Every dollar raised will directly support programs and experiences that benefit Cherry Crest students throughout the year.

There is still time to donate until June 10th to receive the classroom level rewards.

Fundraising goals are important, but what matters most is the incredible participation and generosity shown by our families, staff, students, and supporters.

We are grateful for every contribution and proud of what we accomplished together.

Thank you for helping strengthen our school community.
