In a Walk-A-Thon, participants walk to raise money for
their school or organization. This fun, inclusive
event engages students, families, and the community
while promoting walking and physical activity.
Participants collect flat donations from friends,
family, and local supporters, focusing on
participation over competition. This delivers a
relaxing and community-centered event for kids of all
ages.
Walk-a-Thon participants walk for a defined time,
usually thirty minutes. Since Walk-a-Thons collect
fixed pledges instead of tracking distance or laps,
they reduce the need for volunteers. Families watch or
join, making the Walk-a-Thon an inclusive and
memorable experience for all!
Plan your Walk-A-Thon and ensure it goes smoothly with
a well-structured and detailed timeline and schedule.
PledgeStar helps you define the steps leading up to
