Announcing: Second Annual
|
|
The Northern Tioga Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring this walk as a joint fundraiser for the Alzheimers Association of the Southern Tier to support their research and care efforts.
WHAT IT IS:
'Walk-A-Mile' is a campaign to raise awareness of, and raise money for, a local cause such as suicide prevention, alcohol & drug addiction, veterans, and any worthwhile cause. It encourages people to 'walk a mile' in another's shoes, to show empathy for those in a difficult situation, and to raise money for an organization that labors in support of that cause. It's easy (most people can walk a mile) and quick (the entire event should take no more than two hours, so the time commitment is minimal).
WHEN:
Saturday, May, 16, 2020 Time: TBD
WHERE:
Participants meet at the Rawley Park in the town of Richford. The 1-mile walk will begin there, on an easy to walk paved pathway. There will be a short presentation from the Alzheimer's Association following the walk, to be held in the park pavilion.
Refreshments will be available.
COST TO PARTICIPATE:
Adult participants - minimum $25, children to age 12 - free.
The idea is that participants solicit walk fee through sponsorship's from family, friends, colleagues (or self-fund). Individuals can commit to sponsor any amount, as long as total raised per-walker is at least $25. There is a Registration page for walker sign-ups, and a Sponsor page to fill in with Sponsor commitments .
OPTIONAL:
Walk-A-Mile t-shirts will be available for purchase for $10
Note: Walk-A-Mile is generic, so t-shirts can be purchased once and used for future walks/causes.
REGISTRATION:
Please register by April 25th, and indicate if a t-shirt is desired (and size).
Walkers are also welcome on the day of the event, and t-shirts can be purchased at that time if still available.
