Walkathon
The SIXTEENTH Annual Lily B. Clayton Walkathon
Friday, October 4, 2024
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 16th through Friday, September 27th. On October 4th, 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 $57,000 in donations in 2023!
Check out the Walkathon FAQ for more information or contact Walkathon chair Lindsay Horton at walkathon@lilybclayton.org.
Donations may be made by typing your student's first name (be sure to use their first name used at school registration). From there, you can copy and paste the link to share. Please be sure that donations for your student are submitted via their link or they will not get credit for the donation.
