As schools search for unique ways to fundraise during the time of Covid-19, the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts will be holding its First Annual Virtual ArtsWalk to take place on September 4-7, 2020. To ensure social distancing and Covid-19 precautions, participants will walk in their own communities and will be encouraged to experience art along the way. Participants can take photos of their journey along with any public art that they may experience and share it through the event hashtag, #chartswalk.
All proceeds will benefit the school and will directly support the school’s artistic programs that include dance, instrumental music, literary arts, production arts, theatre, visual arts, and vocal music. The funds raised will support projects such as virtual masterclasses and technology for remote learning.
The official walk will take place 9/4-9/7 – but the signup and donation page are open now! https://runsignup.com/
Any registered walker who donates $50.00 or more by September 4, 2020, will receive a T-shirt. Prizes and T-shirts will be distributed directly to each walker in late-September. Raffle chances will be awarded to each registered walker who raised $100.00 or more.
Prize winners will be announced on the school’s social media the week of September 15, 2020. Prizes will be distributed by mail in late September to the respective winners.
