Join us October 4th for our 2025 Walkathon!
Growing Minds- Walkathon 2025
Oct. 4, 2024 (following 4:30 p.m. Mass)
Mark your calendars! Holy Trinity students and families are invited to our traditional neighborhood walk, carnival, and celebration on Oct. 5!
What is Walkathon? Walkathon is the school’s annual fall fundraiser, where all money raised goes directly to the school. Several years ago, parents realized that they would rather just make a contribution to the school for the very important projects fundraising goes to, than to go door-to-door selling things, where only a percent of the proceeds go to the school. As such, Walkathon was born. With Walkathon, all proceeds, with the exception of a 3% processing fee, go directly to the school.
This year’s proceeds will be going to the arts at Holy Trinity!
Pep Rally | September 26th: Who will end up with a pie in the face this year?
Cash & Coin Drive | September 29- October 3: A component of spirit week, classes compete to bring in the most coins. Winning class gets a pizza party!
Chipotle Fundraiser | September 30th: From 4-8 p.m., use code G26W2BX for a portion of the proceeds to benefit the walkathon!
Spirit Week | September 29th-October 3rd:Wear a different outfit each day + bring $5 for the week to go towards Walkathon!
Walkathon! | On Saturday, October 4th following 4:30 pm mass, students, families, and community members will gather at the school to walk ~one mile route through the neighborhood together, followed by dinner at the school, and a carnival with games outside. There is NOT a “pledge $XX per lap” component to this fundraiser. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors to participate in the fun!
Join students, family, friends & community members as we walk a short ~1 mile loop through the neighborhood. Following the walk, hang around for games, the dunk tank and raffle prizes. Food and beverages are provided as a free will donation by the Knights of Columbus.
Businesses, community partners, and other sponsors are invited to contribute towards fundraising efforts via the pledge site, or through cash or a check dropped off directly to the office. We are tracking donations! Please identify the student(s) in all forms of payment. Donations from families with multiple children will be divided evenly unless otherwise specified.
Does your employer match charitable contributions? Many companies match charitable school donations! This is an excellent way to boost your donation. Please email the committee (HolyTrinitywalkathon@gmail.com) to provide matching donor information so we can associate the donation with you.
