Wildcat Walk-a-Thon

We are so excited to announce that we will be bringing back West Vincent Elementary PTA’s fourth Wildcat Walk-a-Thon on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. By combining fun, fitness, and fundraising, we hope that all students will help us achieve our goal of reaching or exceeding $25,000!

Thanks to the generosity of family, friends, and local businesses and corporate sponsors, our last Walk-a-Thon held in 2019 generated over $40,000 in donations for our school. These funds allowed for additional assemblies, family events, after-school programs, and the continuation of progress on our multi-year playground enhancement project. As such, this event is a great way for students to directly in raising funds for events and school enhancements that staff, families, and the students themselves will enjoy during the current school year and for years to come!

On event day, all West Vincent students and staff will walk outside for 30 minutes, energized by music from a live DJ, inspired to keep moving by motivational signs, and treated to some fun surprises. The students from each grade who raise the most money as of Walk-a-Thon morning will be invited to lead the walk and hold the official Wildcat Walk-a-Thon banner along with our mascot, Willie the Wildcat. A week after the walk, additional prizes will be awarded.

If you have any questions about the Wildcat Walk-a-Thon or are interested in becoming a sponsor in the future, please contact Allison Jensen.
