Patton’s 19th Annual Benefit Walk-a-Thon 👟💙✨ | May 2026 | Supporting Make-A-Wish Illinois
What an incredible day at Patton Elementary School as students, staff, and families came together for the annual Walk-a-Thon on May 14th! Over the past 19 years, Patton Elementary has raised more than $150,000 for Make-A-Wish Illinois, helping grant life-changing wishes for children and families.
From cheering each other on to walking side-by-side, the day was filled with energy, teamwork, school spirit, and fun. This event truly showcased the strength of the Patton community and the positive impact we can make when we come together.
A special thank you to the Arlington Heights Police Department, Mt. Prospect Police Department, and Arlington Heights Fire Department for supporting the event and bringing so much energy to the day. We’d also like to thank the Galactic Empire for making a surprise appearance and helping make the Walk-a-Thon even more memorable! 🌟
Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and supported this special tradition over the years. Your enthusiasm and generosity continue to help make wishes come true. 💫
