Walkathon

The FIFTEENTH Annual Lily B. Clayton Walkathon 

Friday, October 13, 2023

The Walkathon is Lily B.’s BIG FALL FUNDRAISER where students ask neighbors, relatives, and friends for donations to our school.  The fundraiser runs from Monday, September 18th through Friday, September 29th.  On October 13th, approximately 500 students will walk, sing and show great school spirit on a 1-1/2 mile walk through Berkeley.  The event will begin and end at Lily B. Clayton Elementary School.  The Walkathon will be led by members of the Fort Worth Police Department and the Paschal High School Band.

Our goal each year is to raise enough money to fund many of the things that make Lily B. great (art and music programs, new technology, academic materials, and more). Students raised over $50,000 in donations in 2022!

Check out the Walkathon FAQ for more information or contact Walkathon chair Lauren Teer at walkathon@lilybclayton.org.
