The annual St. Mary Mothers’ Guild Walk-a-Thon is a school-wide event that provides financial support to the school. Over the years, these funds have been used to meet many important school needs such as offsetting tuition costs, providing scholarships, library improvements, classroom supplies, new textbooks, and much more.

This year, the 15th Annual Walk-a-Thon will take place on Wednesday, November 15, 2023.

Funds from the 2023 Walk-a-Thon will cover field trip transportation costs for St. Mary students. Field trips are valuable experiences and greatly enhance students’ educational journeys. Your support will help ensure that field trips are accessible for everyone.

In addition to raising funds, the Walk-a-Thon promotes fitness and good health. Students will be walking and running to show their commitment to a positive and healthy lifestyle, while demonstrating their strong St. Mary spirit and community.

We ask you to consider a sponsorship and help our students reach their goal of raising $40,000.

Sponsorship opportunities are available from $500-$5,000 and include a wide range of benefits. Gain visibility for your business by supporting our Walk-a-Thon and make a difference for over 200 students.
