The Walkathon That Wasn't

One of the highlights of the school year is always the annual Walkathon.  It is a great opportunity for students, staff and family members to get out and enjoy a beautiful area of Chilliwack, enjoy some exercise and raise funds for our school.  This year, due to the suspension of in-school instruction, and the impact that COVID-19 had on many people, the walkathon was cancelled.

However, some generous donors have come forward, saying that they normally donate to this fundraiser, and wished to make their donation even without the event happening (We've raised almost $3,000 so far!)  We realized that others may have previously planned this as part of their charitable donations for the year, and wished to let you know that we are happy to accept donations for the "Walkathon-That-Wasn't"!

We are able to accept donations via cheques brought in to the parish office (Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon/1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.) or by direct debit through the school office (please phone or email to make arrangements).

All donations over $25 will be acknowledged with a tax receipt (please provide your full address).
Donors will be acknowledged through a colourful display of feet "walking" through the church hallway.
