The goal of the Walkathon and Fitness Challenge is to allow students the opportunity to give back to the school that has given them so much. Students participate in fitness and teamwork activities with their peers to celebrate an active lifestyle and Burley School.
SCHEDULE
  • PreK-5th Grade: Walkathon and Fitness Challenge with 1000 Watts Sports
  • ​6th-8th Grade: Walk to the lake for Fit Time with Friends (bring a sack lunch and a water bottle)​
OUR SPONSOR
Exciting news - this year our generous sponsor, the Avoda Group, will match the first $12,500 of Walkathon and Fitness Challenge donations. When you share your child’s page, consider reminding people that their donations will be doubled when they give early!

RAFFLE
Students who collect one donation will be entered in a virtual sports and fitness raffle! Every 5th donation they collect gains another entry (for example, if your student collects 12 donations, they will receive 3 entries, one each for the 1st, 5th, and 10th donation).


CLASSROOM CHALLENGE
The classroom from each of the following three grade segments with the highest participation percentage* will win a special prize!
  • Grades K - 2
  • Grades 3 - 5
  • Grades 6 - 8
​
If PreK reaches 75% participation, they win a special prize appropriate for their age group!

The overall winning classroom with the largest number of pledges will win possession of the Walkathon and Fitness Challenge trophy for a year!

* Participation percentage is defined as the number of students who bring in at least one donation divided by the total number of students in the class
