Walk-a-thon Auction Donations

The Walk-a-Thon auction accounts for ~30% of the funds raised at Walk-a-Thon and family donations are some of the most unique and fun items. Do you have an idea for a prize you can donate to the auction? It could be an item, a service, or an experience, such as a weekend getaway, photography lessons, or a hosted theme party.

Fill out this form and a WATA volunteer will get in contact with you!

Some spots still available for Winter and Spring programs starting soon!
