Walkathon

The 18th Annual Lily B. Clayton Walkathon

Friday, October 2, 2026

Lily B.’s biggest fall fundraiser is back. Last year students raised more than $70,000! Let’s break that record this year for our Sweet Lily B.!

Details: On the morning of Friday, October 2, all Lily B. Clayton students, faculty, families, and volunteers will walk a 1½-mile loop through the Berkeley neighborhood near campus.

Student Fundraising: Leading up to the event, students ask family, friends, businesses, and neighbors to support their efforts through monetary donations. Top student fundraisers win fun prizes! Funds go directly to Lily B. programming, events, and resources for our students and staff, and ALL donations help reach our goals.

Collecting Funds: Fundraising officially kicks off Monday, September 14 and runs through Friday, September 25. Donations can be made here. Please be sure donations are made under your student’s name to receive credit and prizes.

Volunteering: Walkathon can’t happen without parent volunteers. Sign up here!
