Invisible Children’s Second Annual Walkathon
What: A four-hour walk-a-thon to raise money and awareness for the Schools for Schools campaign for ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s chapter of Invisible Children.
Where & When: Track behind Rhodes Stadium from 4-8pm on Oct. 11.
Who: Team of five to ten people and as many “fans” as you can recruit.
How: Register by Sept. 19. Each team member’s registration fee is $15 (includes t-shirt). Turn in paperwork and funds to the Kernodle Center. You can pick up your registration packets in the Kernodle Center (Moseley 230).
Registration fees can be paid cash/check (all checks must be made out to “Invisible Children: Schools for Schools”)
Why: Money raised builds a school in Uganda by ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s chapter. Why else? Food, games, music and tons of great prizes.
Once registered, here are ways to start earning money (prizes are based on money raised):
Donors: Go out and ask people if they’d pledge money towards this cause. You can send letters home, or just talk to friends and family. Remind people their donations are tax-deductable.
Fans: While you can only have 5 to 10 people per team, fans have no limits. Fans can get in for $5 and be a part of all the festivities as well. Their entrance fee and any additional donations they make also count towards your team.
Merchandise: When you buy any of the merchandise, baked goods, or request a song, your team receives credit for these purchases (so bring money!!)
