Walkathon
The Eastgate 2011 Walkathon was an enormous success! Eastgate students, teachers, faculty and parents all rallied together to raise funds for our school on Friday, October 7, 2011. This event is one of our biggest fundraisers this year – second only to the Auction held March 31 2012. Our Eastgate community raised $21,508, (this is not counting employer matching donations) for our school programs such as Young Author's Day, Pacific Northwest Ballet Residency, Art Docent Program, and many more. Thanks to those of you who already submitted your matching donation forms.
