Description

The Grafton Bethel Elementary PTA is planning for our 6th Annual Walkathon Fundraiser. We realize that COVID-19 means the upcoming school year will continue to look a little different, however, as our sole fundraiser for the year, the PTA remains committed to supporting the Grafton Bethel elementary teachers, students, and staff.

The logistics of this year’s walk is still dependent on school access; however, we are planning our event the week of October 10, 2021.  The walkathon takes our student population outside to walk laps through our school’s campus.  Our goal is to raise $15,000, allowing the PTA to continue to provide funding for key educational items needed by the Grafton Bethel team. Funds raised through our walkathon will provide funding for teacher support, field day, Grizzly Gatherings, field trips, new technology and more. Our mission as the PTA is to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

Donations from our community partners will be used for our student raffle.  Our goal each year is to provide over 60 raffle prizes for students. Through generous donations by local organizations, we can put more of the funds raised back into the school.

We would like you to consider supporting our efforts by making a material or financial donation? All of our community partners will be recognized in our walkathon package and online platforms.

Do you have another idea to help us this year? Please reach out to discuss as we would love to hear from you and work with your business.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
