About this fundraiser:

This Walk-a-thon event is our LARGEST fundraiser of the year and provides the funds for more than 80% of our annual Birch Grove PTC budget for both our campuses. Without YOUR monetary SUPPORT we will NOT be able to provide the amazing events and allocations that the school and our incredible teachers have come to count on. This funding enables them to provide all the wonderful learning opportunities and unique experiences our students cherish.

Thanks to your generous donations during our previous Walk-a-thon we were able to extend more than $26,000 in Classroom Allocations and approve over $10,000 in Mini Grant requests to improve our schools and individual experiences of our students both on and off campus.

This year we are asking you to join us once again to support our teachers and students by helping us achieve this year's first milestone goal of $10,000!!!

We want to THANK YOU so much for being a part of our online virtual event. We understand that times are tough and we want you to please know that no amount is too small. We truly have the most AWESOME families with the biggest hearts. Your ongoing support is sincerely appreciated!!!

We look forward to reaching our goal and providing for another amazing school year! Thanks again!
