Walk-a-thon is Birch Grove Elementary's LARGEST fundraiser of the year. It provides the funds for more than 80% of our annual Birch Grove PTC budget, which gives back to teachers and students of BGP and BGI. We need YOUR support to continue providing the amazing events and classroom allocations that our teachers and students have come to count on.

Thanks to your generous donations during our 2023 Walk-a-Thon, we were able to extend more than $21,000 in Classroom Allocations and approve over $12,000 in Mini-Grant requests to improve our schools and the individual experiences of our students.

We want to THANK YOU for being a part of our event. 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!
