March-A-Thon Volunteers
Date: August 1, 2026
March-A-Thon is one of our largest fundraisers of the year. The event starts and finishes at John Simpson Park, where students will set out on a 3-mile route through the Steiner Ranch neighborhood, stopping along the way to perform live lawn concerts for the community.
We need LOTS of volunteers to make the day a success. If you are able to help, we would love to have you.
