Peralta Walkathon - Sunday, October 25th, 2015, 12:00-4:30 p.m.

WHY WALK?

The Walkathon is the only 100% kid-powered fundraiser at Peralta – and one of the mightiest fundraisers of them all! Over the past five years, the Walkathon has raised more than $140,000 for arts, sports, field trips and classroom supports at Peralta.

Plus, the Walkathon is FUN!

WHY DONATE?

Donate to the Walkathon because it helps make Peralta awesome.  Walkathon funds help pay for aides in the (increasingly over-crowded) classrooms, for a librarian, for art and music instruction, for mental health counseling and the conflict resolution program, for the gardening program, and much, much more.  All these things are part of what makes Peralta a great place for kids and earned it a 2011 National Blue Ribbon award—one of only 22 schools in all of California to earn this distinction!

HOW TO GET IT DONE
