2026 Walkathon & Community Celebration Picnic
The View Royal Elementary PAC is proud to host the 2026 Walkathon on May 29, 2026.
Students and staff will spend the afternoon walking together in support of an exciting goal, followed by an evening celebration picnic open to families and the wider community. Walkathons have been a great success at neighbouring schools, and we’re excited to bring this energizing fundraiser to View Royal.
Our Goal: A New Playground
The 2026 Walkathon supports our Playground Fundraising Campaign.
Total project cost: ~$140,000
Raised to date: Nearly $15,000
Target completion: September 2028
Our current playground has created many wonderful memories. Adding a second structure will:
Expand play opportunities
Improve accessibility
Better serve our growing school community
View Royal is one of the few schools in the district with only one playground. With the support of students, families, and local partners, we can bring this new space to life.
How You Can Support
Sponsor a Student
Families, neighbours, relatives, and friends are invited to support a View Royal student by becoming a Walkathon sponsor. Students will be reaching out to sponsors throughout May.
🏢 Become a Community Donor
Local businesses can help us move closer to our goal by becoming a Community Donor.
Three donation tiers are available, each offering valuable recognition benefits.
💳 Make a Direct Donation
Tax receipts are available for donations made through the School District 61 link (see Direct Donations at the top of the page).
