WALK-A-Thon & Auction 

SAVE THE DATE! WALK-A-THON AND AUCTION will be Friday, April 4th, 2025 from 9:00am to 12:00pm.

Welcome to the 2025 Walk-A-Thon & Auction! The WAT&A is a long running tradition at Cherry Chase where students, parents, teachers, staff, and local businesses all come together to support our school community. We raise money for our school while having fun spending time with friends and family and promoting physical activity. Typically, most families participate, and if your student wants, you’re welcome to walk with them after the first lap.

Please participate in the walk and encourage friends and family to donate to the PTA on behalf of your student. This year our goal is to raise over $70,000 for Cherry Chase to support our in-class programs, after school programs, and community events

If you’re new to Cherry Chase, watch this video for a quick overview of the events and your role. There’s a lot, so joining us for the first time can be overwhelming. If you still have questions, feel free to email Joy at wata@cherrychasepta.org.

Walk-a-Thon is 100% volunteer-lead and we need your help! We’re looking for 250+ volunteers during the event, so we need every family to participate. Please find the detailed information HERE and sign up as a volunteer to help.
