WALK-A-THON:  WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

What is the Walk-A-Thon?

McKee's annual Walk-a-Thon is a school-wide fundraising event where the students ask friends, family, neighbors, community members, etc. to sponsor them as they walk laps around the McKee soccer field. It's a fun event for our students! 

Note: All students will participate regardless of fundraising efforts.

Is it a per lap donation?

No, donors can choose any amount to donate. It is not a per lap donation.

Can I or another family member walk with my child?

Yes, absolutely. We do ask for a $5/adult walking buddy donation on the day of the event which is collected at the Registration/Check-In table. Look for the "Registration/Check-In" signs when arriving. Younger, non-school age siblings are welcome to walk too (no donation required)!

How can donations be submitted?

We accept the following payment options:

1) Cash/Checks made payable to 'McKee PTA' (blue or black ink only)

2) Cheddar Up Donation Site

What do the students do during the walk a thon?

 

Students are encouraged to walk 3 laps or more around the field. There will be music, snacks (apples generously donated by Half Crown Hill Orchard), water available to help the students to stay hydrated and they get to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
