B.D. Gullett Elementary School's Walk-a-Thon was filled with bubbles, blow-up arches, slime and a pig.
After students participated in the school's annual Walk-a-Thon March 5, students who raised at least $125 had the opportunity to slime Principal Todd Richardson.
But that wasn't all.
As an incentive for students to keep raising money, Richardson promised he would dress as a leprechaun and rollerblade around the school if the school raised $20,000.
Then Richardson upped the ante by agreeing to kiss a pig if the school raised $30,000.
The incentives kept coming and included Richardson working from the school's rooftop all day for $40,000, doing karaoke for $45,000 and having his hair and beard dyed in a rainbow for $50,000.
The school raised a total of $69,690 for the Walk-a-Thon, which made it the most successful fundraiser in Gullett Elementary history.
