Walk-A-Thon Kickoff 2026

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 to come in August.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 so we can keep current programming.
