We request that you pre-register as an individual or as a team. Online registration is coming soon. Or, contact us at (515) 265-7272. Every individual or team is encouraged to set a fundraising goal. Individuals are encouraged to secure pledges from sponsors, i.e. family, friends, neighbors, coworkers. Unlike other walks, pledges for this non-competitive walk are not based on the distance or the time you walk. A pledge is simply an amount a sponsor commits towards the individual walker or team he or she wishes to support. You can either use our Participation Form or set up your own individual donor web page ... or both! Click here to learn more.
Remember to bring your completed sponsor pledge form with you to turn in at registration the day of the walk.
Individuals who collect $200 or more in pledges will receive a free t-shirt. Teams raising $200 or more per team member will also receive free t-shirts for each member of the team. For all others, t-shirts will be available for purchase. Individuals and teams who choose not to pre-register or seek sponsor pledges will be encouraged to make a $25 donation per person on the day of the event.
