PLEASE NOTE: When you make a donation on this website you will be asked to give a tip and you will be presented with several options. This tip is entirely optional and you can give any amount. However, this platform, Givebutter, runs entirely on tips. We do not pay Givebutter to use their platform.

What is the Walkathon?

A Walk-A-Thon is a fun event where you walk with friends, teachers, and family to raise money for a good cause! People donate to support your school and the more you walk, the more you help. It's like a big walking party!

GBCS students are walking for a cause! We are going to get exercise, promote school spirit, and raise funds for our wonderful school. Money raised will be used to pay for student field trips and other important learning opportunities for students from Kindergarten to 8th grade!

How do I collect the donations?

Online: Send donors directly to this page (https://givebutter.com/GBCSWalkathon2026) OR create your very own fundraising page for your kid(s). Please make sure you select your child's grade level/team!

In-Person: Cash and check donations are accepted. Checks can be written to the "Friends of GBCS" Students can record donors’ names on a pledge sheet and drop it off to the GBCS office or to your child's teacher. If you don't want to use the pledge sheet, you don't need to, just make sure you write "Walkathon" and your child's name and grade on the envelope.

Who should I ask to donate?

Try asking friends, family, neighbors, and parent co-workers for Walkathon pledges. You can ask in person, by phone, by email, on social media, with a YouTube video, or through your own fundraising page on GiveButter (see above). Be creative!
