The Walk-n-Roll-a-Thon is back and promises to be a fun-filled community event where CHIME students walk, run, roll, or even dance their way around the course on our school’s field!
CHIME Charter School’s annual Walk-n-Roll-a-Thon fundraiser takes place on Friday, March 7 and raises essential funds to support our art and music programs. Students will have about 35 minutes to complete as many laps as they can around our 1/7-mile track—whether walking, running, rolling, or dancing! Every student will participate with their grade, and families are encouraged to come cheer them on.
We also ask families to register each student for a fundraising page and help us raise money to keep the arts thriving at CHIME.
Why Fundraise for the Arts at CHIME?
The Walk-n-Roll-a-Thon is our biggest fundraiser dedicated to keeping our art and music programs strong for TK–8th grade students. CHIME is proud to offer year-round arts and music education, and this event ensures every student continues to have access to benefit from creative enrichment.
Can we count on your support? Let’s come together and support the arts at CHIME!
How to Participate in the Walk-n-Roll-a-Thon:
- Register your student for their own fundraising webpage. If you have more than one child at the school, please register each student so they are eligible for incentives and contests.
- Ask friends and family to donate to your student’s Walk-n-Roll-a-Thon page. Flat donations are encouraged. If you'd like to donate per lap, students can track their pledges using this form.
- Join us on March 7 at the Walk-n-Roll-a-Thon event to cheer on students as they make their laps around the CHIME field.
- Volunteer or donate supplies—help count laps, serve orange wedges, or contribute items for event day. Sign up here to volunteer.
