Wildcat walkathon

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

We are excited to join forces with Stoneybrook West Community to raise funds for Whispering Oak Elementary and to support those affected by Pediatric Cancer in our area.  Not only is it important to support our school but it is important for our children to understand empathy and how giving back is important.  We hope that you will join in our effort to raise funds for Whispering Oak Elementary and Pediatric Cancer at Advent Health Children's Hospital and Arnold Palmer Hospital: Haley Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders.

• 50% of all proceeds will benefit local pediatric cancer hospitals.

• Each student who participates will get a gold bracelet showing their support for pediatric cancer awareness. 

• Each student who reaches a donation over $40.00 or more, will receive a free registration for their family.

• The top 3 classes who raise the most funds will earn a pizza party.

• The top 3 students who raise the most funds will earn a special gift.

1. How do I register to participate in the Walk-a-Thon?

Students, families, and community members can register to participate in the Walk-a-Thon via SchoolPay.

2. How do I fundraise?

Each student will need to create a page simply by visiting our site on 99 Pledges. The student will need to find their teacher and add their name and parent email address.  It's that easy. You can then share the student's personalized link with family and friends so they can donate.

3. Do I need to fundraise in order to participate?

No, if a family prefers not to fundraise, they can still come out and join our Wildcats Walk-a-Thon by registering via SchoolPay.

4. Where does the Walk-a-Thon start?

The Walk-a-Thon starts at Stoneybrook West Town Center. There will be a sidewalk path that will lead families on a 2-mile walk. Families can either walk or run and take as much time as they may need. This is a great opportunity for you to spend time with your children and talk about school and how pediatric cancer impacts our community.  We will have volunteers along the way to help cross streets or to encourage you if you feel like you can’t do it.  

5. What time does the Walk-a-Thon start?

Registration is from 6:30-7:25 am. The walk begins at 7:30 am.

6. Where can we park?

Parking is available at the Town Center and along the street.
