2026 Walk-a-Thon: April 24, 2026
A long-standing tradition at Bishop Chatard, this student fundraiser (WAT) teaches students the value of philanthropy and encourages them to give something back. We hope the seeds of generosity will take root and develop into genuine interest and compassion for caring for others.
Walk-a-Thon Day includes a talent show, neighborhood walk, picnic lunch, faculty vs. senior kickball game, and early dismissal. Students have personal fundraising pages, working toward their personal goal of $50.
- The first FLEX class with 100% participation (at least one donation per student) will receive Chick-fil-A meal coupons.
- The first 25 students in each grade to raise $50 will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card.
- Students who reach $50 in donations may dress down on April 20-22.
- The top five fundraisers in each grade will be entered into a drawing for a $200 Amazon gift card.
- The grade with the highest participation rate will win a pizza party at lunch.
