Event Fundraisers

Walkathon

The staff and students of St. Martin of Tours Academy have the opportunity to participate in a Walkathon each year to raise funds for something that directly benefits our school and education. Walkathons have a record of being successful fund-raisers. It is also a wonderful community event and an opportunity to focus on physical fitness and teamwork.

Our 25th annual Walkathon fundraiser held on March 11,2016 kept with the theme of Pope Francis to live justly on God's earth and to care for our most vulnerable brothers and sisters, we chose to respond by offering Fair Trade, organic, dye free cotton t-shirts! The idea for our t-shirt logo was created by two of our eighth grade students, IsabelleK. and Shae H.

This year we will use the funds from Walkathon 2016 to replace the wood chips in the primary playground to a rubber playground flooring. As of March 16, we have received over $25,000 in donations! We hope to complete the project this summer.

Walkathon 2016 at Santee Lakes

Walkathon 2015 at Santee Lakes

There were over 400 students, parents, friends walking around Santee Lakes and then enjoying the picnic

that followed. It was an outstanding event. The spirit of our community was inspiring. And we are excited

to have exceeded our fundraising goal of $20,000!

The t-shirt logo "Paint a Bright Future" was designed by Sarah P.

The funds will be used to update our school website, purchase a 10-pack of iPads and replace outdated

docu-cameras which helps us keep up to date with technology.

All of us at St. Martin of Tours Academy, students, staff, and parents, are very grateful

for the support of our community.

Students say the Pledge of Allegiance before beginning the walk in November 2013.

In November 2013, we raised over $22,000 which was used to concrete the play area by the Peace Garden

and to purchase large microscopes. The theme was "Growing for the Future".

Student Abigail M. created our logo for the t-shirts.

Short throw projectors for each classroom & the computer lab was purchased in 2012.
