3. What Does Pledging to the Walk Mean, Exactly?

By committing to this event, and pledging to raise money for its success, you are helping raise invaluable funds to enhance the programming for our students, mainly author visits, interactive science and history assemblies and music and arts programming.

 

We know you can do it! Enjoy the walk … and get all the sponsors you can, so when you cross that finish line, we will all be winners – working together to enhance the educational experience for our students!

 

4. How can my sponsors submit payment?

Online contributions can be made by credit card on the runner's personalized page found on this website. Just make sure to tell your sponsors to select your name from the list of runners.

 

5. I am concerned that I might not be able to raise the required funds. Will I be able to do it?

Even if you've never raised money before, our materials and strategies will make it easy for you to solicit and collect sponsorships from friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and others. Please refer to the sample letters found on your personal fundraising page center, that explains the  programs the Walk supports, and you will be surprised to see how quickly friends, family, and co-workers will respond to your request to help this wonderful cause.  Just remember to make it personal as well, as you want them to know that they are sponsoring YOU and YOUR efforts! And, as many companies offer charitable donation matching programs, make sure to ask your sponsors to check with their employers, as it will help you meet your goal ever more quickly.
