What is the Walk-A-Thon?

The Roosevelt Elementary Walk-A-Thon is a fun event to promote healthy lifestyles and raise money to support educational opportunities at Roosevelt Elementary.

Each student is asked to safely raise $75 (or whatever amount they can) to support the event and the school’s mission. Please feel free to reach out and collect donations

from family and friends, but due to safety concerns, please do not go door-to-door asking for donations unless you are with a parent.

The main event is the walk itself. All classes participate in the walk as part of their school day, accompanied by teachers.

When Do We Turn In The Money?

Friday, Oct. 3rd

Friends and Family can donate money online.

Scan the QR code to donate or text WALKRACCOONS25 to 53555

All checks should be made payable to Roosevelt PTO.

100% of your donation is tax-deductible.

What Do We Do With the Raised Funds?

All funds raised stay at Roosevelt. Our PTO pays for field trips, reading incentives, classroom supplies, purchasing every fifth grader a yearbook, Math Masters, funding requests from staff, and more!

What Can I Do To Help?
