About The WalkAThon
The Walkathon is an awesome PS199 day and our SECOND largest fundraiser. All funds raised through registration fees, donations and sponsors from friends and families enables the PTA to support Ms. Xerri and our teachers in creating a great learning environment for our children.
The PTA plays a critical role in filling the gap created by a reduced education budgets. Your support is instrumental in providing our teachers and children with additional resources and programming that help our school thrive.
I Walk for PS199
Sponsoring a student is a great way to support PS 199. All money goes to the PTA which funds the science teacher, arts enrichment programs in every grade, the hugely popular recess sports program, the Wellness in the School program that is bringing healthier food into our Cafeteria and pays for the classroom supplies that our kids use everyday. |

Ask friends and family to sponsor your child’s walk to support our school!
The Walkathon is about fun and community but it’s also a fundraiser and a significant contributor to all the amazing things the PTA is able to do for PS199.
Ask your family and friends if they will sponsor your child. Our experience is that people are happy to support our neighborhood public school.
Any sponsorship is greatly appreciated and no donation is too small. Together, we can help our school to continue to be an amazing place for our children.
Our goal is to reach to 5 donations per child from your friends or family.
Please help this event be a success by volunteering! We need volunteers in all areas.
