2024 Walk-a-thon!

Friday, Sept. 26, 2025

This is an event for the whole family!

Our beloved event promotes school spirit, physical fitness, and a sense of accomplishment for the students. This year, it’s all about celebration for the Bennett Valley Alliance of Parents and Teachers (BVAPT) as they continue to support the students, teachers and staff of Bennett Valley Union School District.

After collecting donations from family and friends, students will walk the track at their school during the school day on September 26.

Then at 4:30pm, the Walk the Wave Afterparty starts with fun for the whole family! Enjoy a live band, jump house, slide carnival games, dunk tank, face painting crazy hair, local food, and more! During the event students can participate in walking around the track to earn prizes.

What does the Walk-a-thon help fund?

The Walk-a-thon helps BVAPT fund programs such as: field trips, assemblies, library, technology, computers, teacher stipends, playground equipment, and much more!

Tickets for the fun zone will be available for purchase presale OR at the Walk the Wave After Party. Cash, card, and PayPal will be accepted at the event. Wristbands for unlimited access to the fun zone are $20 each. Individual tickets to the fun zone and Carnival Games are $2 each.
