2026 WALK-A-THON
Our final fundraiser of the school year is officially here! On Friday, June 5th, our students will be hitting the field for the annual Cherry Crest Walk-a-thon. This is an incredible community tradition, and this year, we have set a goal to raise $40,000 to support our school’s vital programs.
Every lap counts, and every donation brings us closer to our goal. Here is everything you need to know to get ready:
🎒 Step 1: Complete the Required Permission Slip
Complete the Required Permission Slip
Every single student needs an online permission form filled out, even if they aren’t walking after school. Students with a completed form can also walk laps during Lunch Recess to earn participation prizes!
Action Required: Please fill out the form for each of your students by Friday, May 29th.
💰 Step 2: Donate & Support Your Grade
We are using Givebutter this year to track our progress. You can donate directly toward your student’s specific grade-level fundraising goal.
- DONATE NOW: Head over to Givebutter to make your contribution and help your grade win the race to the top!
- Your generosity helps us preserve the programs and experiences that help our Cherry Crest students thrive! With rising costs each year, every contribution helps us sustain the programs that benefit all students.
🏆 Prizes & Incentives
We have some amazing rewards lined up for our students to celebrate their hard work:
- 90% Class Participation in Fundraising: Any class that reaches 90% participation through Givebutter donations wins an Otter Pops recess.
- Grade-Level Goals: Every grade that hits its fundraising goal will get an extra special snack at the Walk-a-thon.
- Top Fundraising Class: The class that raises the most total funds gets the ultimate prize—they win the chance to Silly String the Principal!
🎉 Event Highlights & Volunteering
- Parents vs. Staff Race: Cheer on your favorite teachers—or lace up your own shoes to represent the parents—in our highly anticipated Parents vs. Staff race!
- We Need Volunteers: Events like this can’t happen without our amazing community. We need hands on deck to help with everything from counting laps to passing out water.
