Slideshow From Our Change a Life, Walk for the Red Event

On Sunday April 30th, 2011 we held our Change a Life, Walk for the Red event at Tyler State Park in Newtown, PA. Take a look at this slideshow to see how it went - lots of people, a gorgeous day, cool t-shirts, awesome goody bags filled with handy stuff, and even some four-legged doggy participants! What fun ... and for a great cause.

Thanks again to all who came out, walked, helped, donated, and did their share to make this event a success.

Change a Life, Walk for the Red: We have a ways to go, but we're making progress!

Just a note to fill you in on our progress!  Today, we heard from both St. Mary Medical Center, Allen Investment Group of Raymond James, and Aria Health - all have agreed to be sponsors for the Walk.  St. Mary will be our "LEAD SPONSOR" at $5,000!!!!

Congratulations to Team Red 1($400) and Arcadis Newtowners ($203.85) for being in the lead with their fundraising efforts. 

To date, we have over 70 registrants for a total of $1,245; we've raised $1,239 on our individual websites; and raised $6,500 in sponsorships!  Our goal is to have at least 200 people at the Walk and raise $10,000+ on our websites.

Because our goal is to raise $16,000 after expenses, we have a ways to go ... but this can easily be achieved if we all take the time to do the following:

1) Invite friends, family, co-workers to register and attend the walk!  www.firstgiving.com/arclbcc/event/changealifewalkforthered

2) Continue to build our Teams/fundraising pages and

3) Send out our own fundraising letters/emails asking a handful or less of people to contribute to our effort. All donations are secure and tax deductible.  You can send a request right from your webpage, or send an email. Or, how about posting the event on your facebook page?

4) Hold a bake sale or another type of small event to raise money for your Team's goal.
