What is the Covington Walkathon?

The Walkathon is one of our biggest and most exciting community fundraisers of the year! The blacktop and field will be transformed into an active zone where students can walk laps and enjoy other fun activities to celebrate the donations they’ve worked hard to raise.

How It Works

Each student participates by walking laps and collecting sponsor donations. Your child will bring home a Sponsor/Permission Form. Please encourage them to reach out to neighbors, grandparents, extended family, and family friends to ask for their support.

  • Donation Types: Sponsors can make a flat-rate donation or pledge a specific amount per lap walked.

  • Payment Options: All donations are tax-deductible! Contributions can be paid online or by check (made payable to "Covington PTA" and dropped off in the Walkathon box located in the front office).
