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.
Schedule for the day
- Talent Show – First thing in the morning in the Main Gym! Report to your Flex classes for attendance before being dismissed.
- Walk-a-Thon – Immediately following the talent show. Wear comfortable shoes and your Walk-a-Thon shirt!
- Senior-Staff Kickball – In the Stadium following Walk-a-Thon. Students will be eating lunch in the stadium seat during the game. 3 innings! Teams will be announced.
- Dismissal at 12:30pm – Following the kickball game.
The first FLEX class with 100% participation (at least one donation per student) will receive Chick-fil-A meal coupons.
