Bishop Chatard High School is proud to continue the tradition of our Student Fundraiser, Walk-A-Thon (WAT), on May 3, 2024. Focusing on the growth of the whole person, our aim for this event is to provide a lesson in philanthropy that inspires everyone to recognize the significance of giving back. In turn, we hope these seeds of generosity we’re planting take root and sprout genuine interest and compassion to care for and serve others. Our participation goal is 100%, our financial goal is $35,000, and money raised through this effort be used to will support tuition assistance and better compensate our teachers.
Walk-A-Thon day includes a talent show, neighborhood walk, picnic lunch, and a Seniors vs. Teachers kickball game where all cheer on their favorite team, followed by an early dismissal at approximately 12:30 p.m.
Each student was provided assistance at school in creating their personal WAT fundraising page. This simple process creates an easy way for the students to reach their individual goal of raising a minimum of $50 while allowing them to track those who have donated (and in turn, follow up with a thank you for supporting BCHS). If your student was not able to set up their page at school, please follow these easy instructions.
