HIKE-A-THON
May 16, 2025

Our annual Hike-a-Thon is the major WSSB fundraiser led by our students. This invigorating, joyous, community-building event gives our children the opportunity to set a personal challenge for themselves (a certain number of miles hiked/run) while being of service to their school.

The Hike-a-Thon will be held at Toro Canyon Park in Carpinteria.

We are also pleased to announce that this year a portion of money raised will support the local non-profit "Beekeppers Guild of Santa Barbara." Your Hike-a-Thon contribution will not only support the good work done at WSSB, but also the good work of this local non-profit organization that serves to save bees by educating the community about their importance.

Our goal this year is 100% participation among all WSSB families and $20,000 or about $200 per student.

Thank you for your support.

Special thanks to the IV Food Co-op for their generous donation of snack items for this event! Make sure to support them, especially during this challenging time for them.
