March of Gladness Walk-a-thon

The Basics:

Date: Saturday, March 20^th                              

Time: 10AM - 2PM 

Location: Sparks Stadium

What to bring to participate:

    -$10 registration fee and optional pledges (half goes to UNICEF, half  to Communities In Schools of Puyallup)

      -Signed permission slip

      -Signed photo release

      -Any and all canned food donations

* Students CANNOT participate if all forms are not signed on the day of the event *

Here is the plan:

The event will be the same day, Saturday March 20^th at Sparks Stadium. It will run from 10AM- 2PM, and will be open to all junior high and high school students. Instead of creating teams, gathering pledges and keeping track of laps walked, we're going to ask for a ten dollar flat fee (half goes to UNICEF, half goes to Communities In Schools of Puyallup), and a signed permission slip and photo waiver to participate. In addition to the registration fee, students are more than welcome to bring additional pledges if they like. We will also be conducting a canned food drive to benefit FISH food bank.

We want this to be a very accessible, fun way for our students to contribute to the ongoing Haiti relief effort, and to give back to some of our local charities as well. Students can bring Frisbees, walk around the track, and just enjoy themselves for a few hours. (With ample adult supervision of course)

And in the spirit of competition, we will be awarding a prize to the school that brings in the most participants, so, rep your school!
