ALGONA—Students in grades K-6th at Bishop Garrigan Schools recently participated in a new fundraiser, Walk and Pray, which was an upbeat walkathon based on prayer and special intentions.

The students raised money by finding donation sponsors. On top of raising money the students also gathered prayer intentions. The goal of the event was to raise $50 per student and $10,000 for the school. The Bishop Garrigan students exceeded that goal by raising more than $14,500.
