NAVIGATORS ON THE MOVE 

For Education

Saturday, September 16, 2023

10 am – 12 noon 

Join us for the 11th annual St. Brendan Walk-a-thon to raise money for  educational programs, including upgrades to our Art classroom,  alternative seating options for our primary grades, materials and supplies  for the return of our extracurricular offerings, and books and materials  for our library. 

We really hope to have 100% of school families participate in this  parish-wide effort to benefit our school, promote fitness and build  community!   

Goal: Our goal is to raise $25,000. To help us meet this goal, we hope every school family can raise at least $100. 

Who Can Participate: Anyone and everyone in the parish! Students, parents and other   parishioners are all encouraged to join us in supporting our school, staying fit, having fun, and enjoying the company of friends, neighbors and classmates. 

Where: The walk will be held on a ½ mile course on the parish/school grounds. Walk as many laps as you are able! 

Entertainment: Various games for kids (and adults!) will be situated along the  course. Music from our DJ will help keep everyone moving. Every  lap walked earns a raffle ticket for fun prizes! Before the walk begins, starting at 9:30 am, we will also have our prize wheel, giant  dice game, and plinko game - $1 a try; everyone wins a prize! 

How to Participate: 

1. Call, email or visit family, friends, neighbors and coworkers to ask for their support. Every donation helps – whether it’s $2 or $20 or even more!
