Did you know? High school seniors with outstanding school lunch debt cannot participate in some school activities.
Event overview: On Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 1-4pm CT at Vlasis Park (Ballwin, MO), we are coming together as a community to walk and raise $12,000 to pay off outstanding school lunch debt for high school seniors at Marquette, Parkway West, and Parkway Central High Schools. This will ensure that all seniors can fully participate in all school activities and that school funds are used to educate students rather than paying off school lunch debt.
Walk with us! To register to walk (and secure pledges), make your pledge, donate supplies, or volunteer, please visit us at our event page to access and submit your forms and to learn more. All ages and fitness levels are welcome. Join us for an afternoon of food, fun, and community!
Donate today! If you can’t join us for the walk, you can still make a difference by making a direct donation here. Have you pledged to support a walker? Please also donate here to complete your pledge. Every contribution helps support our mission and goes directly toward helping students.
- 100% of donations go to school lunch debt.
- Donations are tax-deductible and eligible for company matching programs* through our partnership with Support Lunch Inc.
Your generous donations will directly support this vital mission by:
- Paying off outstanding school lunch debt so that every senior can fully participate in all school activities.
- Ensuring school funds can be used to educate students rather than paying off school lunch debt.
Donations must be received by no later than April 19, 2026.
