IC Walkathon 2026
We are ready to launch our A Walk Around the World Walkathon which will take place at school on May14th!
We are excited to have the event once again held at school and it will be a exciting time with music, prizes and time walking together in the colours of the many nations that make up our multicultural school community in honour of this summer’s FIFA World Cup! Since it is through sports that the world comes together, students can wear the colours of Canada, their country of their heritage, favourite team colours or any sport jersey if you have one!
It's time to start getting pledges for this one fundraiser we have each year for the special activities and programs we have at our school. We use the Walkathon every year to raise money to purchase items that help students have greater access to technology like iPads and Chrome books, library resources, access to quality sports equipment, fun outdoor education activities and our outstanding arts and sports programs!
Last year we raised over $35,000 dollars. We are challenging each student to raise $10 more than they did last year. Each $20 raised will allow one entry to the prize raffle. More money raised makes for better chances to win great prizes such as gift cards, sports equipment, a bike, and an iPad.
Pledge Forms
Each child has received a pledge sheet to take home in order to collect pledges from family, friends and neighbors. Another great way to obtain pledges is to take the sheet to your workplace and get your colleagues to pledge your child.
Online Credit Card Donations using the Charitable Impact Website.
Remember you can also donate using a credit card online through the Charitable Impact website. Send this link to friends and family out of town and have them support our Walkathon as well. For donations made through this site, tax receipts are issued directly through Charitable Impact, not by IC Parish.

An important area that you can help with is in donation of prizes. Items like movie tickets, restaurant gift cards, sports items and gift cards from any store are great prizes. Gift certificates in small denominations are well received as all age groups use them. Any donation may be brought to the school office.
Making a Donation
We are asking parents to complete these three steps:
1. Complete the paper pledge form for all donations except those done through the Charitable Impact website.
2. For any donations for which you would like a tax receipt issued ($20 and over):
• Enter all donations that are $20 or more on the online pledge tracker form found here:
• Information must be complete on the online form or tax receipts can not be issued.
• Parents can total the other smaller donations and enter them in their name.
(Please note: donations not entered online will not receive tax receipts)
• Do NOT enter Charitable Impact credit card donations on the online pledge tracker form.
3. Send in a single cheque per family for the total donations attached to the paper pledge form(s).
Thank-you for your generous support!
