community or school fundraiser in which participants raise money by
collecting donations or pledges for walking a predetermined distance or

usually target participants from a wide range of ages and economic
backgrounds.
Walkathons are popular fundraisers for issues that affect large sections of
the population. Most commonly, Walkathons focus on fighting or curing
pervasive diseases or ailments such as AIDS, Cancer, Diabetes, Lupus, and
Arthritis, and participation is also often promoted as a symbol of
empowerment, remembrance, or awareness of sufferers and their relations.

children to make a visible contribution to their school, they build
community, are fun, encourage healthy exercise, and can be very lucrative. |
