WALK-A-THON is: Fun, Fitness, and Fundraising! 

​

Thank you for raising $30,000!

 

Richland’s 6th Annual WALK-A-THON will be Friday, March 20, 2020 from 9-11 AM. Everyone walks, everyone wins! Here’s what you need to know: 

 

 

Fundraising for Enrichments: 

100% of WAT proceeds will support our school’s arts and enrichment programs, including orchestra--which is not funded by LAUSD. We are looking to community & corporate sponsors, as well as the friends and families of our Richland students, to meet our $35K goal. 

 

Be a PledgeStar: 

Sign up for PledgeStar and enter 10 email addresses of friends and family. (No personal information will be shared with third party vendors; PledgeStar keeps contact info confidential.) See: https://pledgestar.com/richland/ 

 

Be a Sponsor: 

Sponsorship opportunities for the WAT 2020 event banner are still available. Support our school and see your company name and/or logo displayed on our annual banner. Contact Christine Deelo: crmckee@hotmail.com or Zara Bennett: zaravista35@gmail.com for details. Deadline is coming up fast! 

 

Fitness for All: 

Participate in MOCK-A-THON training Monday through Thursday morning on the week of WALK-A-THON: March 16-19 from 7:45-8:10 AM. At each training, parent volunteers will sign in student participants and record laps walked each day. The top ten students with the most laps walked will be recognized at a morning assembly.

Students will be broken up into three heats according to their grade level. Parents, caregivers, and friends are all welcome to attend the event!
