Franklin Elementary’s annual Walk-A-Thon returns Friday, Oct. 16, with an $80,000 fundraising goal to support classroom supplies, field trips and enrichment programs at the Burlingame school.
The event will take place at Franklin Elementary School, 2385 Trousdale Drive. The PTA’s fundraising page recommends raising $305 per student, while emphasizing that donations of any size count.
Proceeds also support assemblies, teacher and staff appreciation and community events throughout the school year, according to the PTA. Contributions can be made online through PledgeStar.
Fundraising prizes
The PTA’s fundraising announcement lists prizes for students, families and classrooms.
The top 10 fundraising students enter a drawing for a Topgolf two-bay event certificate valued at $800. The 10 families who send the most fundraising emails or messages enter a drawing for a gift card.
The top fundraising class wins a PTA-sponsored lunch party, and the three classes with the highest participation each earn an extra recess.
