How Madison Middle School leveraged Schoolfundr for their Spring Walk-a-thon

Madison Middle School's PTA recently organized a remarkable event that exemplified unity, camaraderie, and determination. The Madison Middle School (MMS) Spring Walk-a-thon, powered by Schoolfundr’s online fundraising platform, marked a triumphant return after the challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Key takeaway

Schoolfundr was able to help Madison bring back their walk-a-thon, a tradition paused since the Covid-19 outbreak, and raise over $13,000. Without the annual walk-a-thon, the PTA's account was running low. This is where Schoolfundr jumped in to help run a fun engaging event for the students, and one that will support a wide array of crucial programs that contribute to the holistic development of Madison Middle School students like after school activities and teacher appreciation week.

”The Madison 2023 Spring Walk-a-thon was a great success, thanks to the support of Schoolfundr. Schoolfundr made it seamless and easy for us to bring back the first Walk-a-thon since the Covid-19 pandemic. Dennis and his team were available and responsive every step of the way. Schoolfundr’s progressive and secure platform allowed the PTA and school to engage all of our families and students. We can't wait to run another school-wide fundraiser with Schoolfundr at the beginning of next school year.”
