About the Event
Beattie Walk-A-Thon is our one-and-only fundraiser for the year! This fundraiser provides our school and children with "extras" needed for success — things such as supplemental classroom supplies; learning technology; enrichment activities, such as after-school clubs; and free community events, such as Star City Shores Pool Party and Glow Dance.
Join us in this effort by helping promote and raise funds or volunteering at the walk. Volunteer to help with set up, supervising the students during their walking time, and to assist with clean up. Sign-up details coming soon!
Our goal is to raise $25,000 so we can keep current programming.
2025-26 Theme: Be The Sunshine
Students will begin raising money via Pledgestar beginning Aug. 25. No matter whether a student is able to gather donations or not, everyone will be participating in the Walk-a-Thon set for Sept. 26 during the school day.
T-shirts
Students will receive their free Beattie Walk-A-Thon T-shirt on Walk-a-Thon day. Adults or community members wishing to order matching shirts may do so. Link and details coming in August!

A fundraising envelope for cash and check donations will be sent home with students Monday, Aug. 25. Pledgestar, our online fundraising website, also will go live Aug. 25. In order to sign up your student to receive donations, please follow the steps below:
