BECOME 1 OF 100!
One of our Chapter's exciting goals this year with our walk is to raise $100,000—or more—in pledges, which
would be a record for us and would help us fund more in vital
medical research to help find the cure!
We can achieve this goal TOGETHER when all of us make it
our own goal to raise as much funding as possible through
pledges.
We are recruiting at least 100 people who will make a commitment
to raise a minimum of $1,000 to help us reach our goal
of raising $100,000 in pledges. We hope you will be
1 of our 100!
We ask for leadership supporters of our Chapter to make your
involvement and support known in a special way by sending
us a pledge form that lets us know you have made it your goal
to raise a minimum of $1,000 for the walk. Click
here to download this form and send it to us
today!
Each person who makes this commitment will be included in
special and exciting correspondence especially prepared for
our treasured pledge-raisers.
