The Walk-A-Thon is Birch Grove Elementary’s primary fundraiser benefiting our teachers, classrooms, and student activities. Our Walk-A-Thon will be from October 1st to October 16th this year!
Thanks to your generous donations during the 2025 Walk-a-Thon, we raised $37K+ in Classroom Allocations and Mini-Grants for student enrichment and this year we're targetting $50K.
Help your student's class climb the leaderboard—the top raising class in each grade level wins a class party!
Visit our 99Pledges Site and locate your student's fundraising page by using the “search for participant” bar. Your student will be listed with their first name and last initial, as well as their teacher’s name and grade.
