Walkathon pledge form

Pledges are due May 3, 2024. If you don’t have the form you can download it here. Online pledges can be accessed via the QR code.

Remember, we have a bunch of end of life technology coming up in the next 5 years that will need over $50,000 to replace. Pledges help insure we can acquire the new technology for our children’s education. AI is the future and proficiency with technology is essential.

Walk A Thon Pledge – 2024Download

The Douglas Walk-a-Thon is coming on Friday, May 3! 

The annual fundraising and spirit event is just around the corner. Watch for pledge forms next week in your child’s agenda and get your kids’ walking shoes ready. Every child will receive a Douglas flyer (like a Frisbee) as a thank you for participating. Here is what you can do to support this fun event:

  • Ask family and friends for $5 each to support our kids: money raised helps pay for our kids’ technology (like IPads), sports equipment, classroom supplies, and cultural events. We are asking each child to raise $25 in total.
  • Volunteer: sign up HERE to cheer the kids on and make this event a success.
  • Get Walking: preparing for the Walk-a-Thon is a great reason to get out and walk as a family this spring.

Our goal this year is to raise a total of $15,000. Thank you in advance for making one of our biggest fundraisers of the year a success!
