Hello fellow Influencers:  Thank you for  agreeing to help discuss and 
register your networks for the March  for Independence to support the Imagination 
Fund.  Below is a  draft/sample e-mail that you can send to your networks.  As 
with anything  else follow up is the key.  We have set our goal at 1000 
registrants by  the beginning of the year.  We have a lot of work ahead, but you all 
have  been asked because we need influencial people like you on the team, we 
know  you can do this! If you have any questions, let me know.  I'll be  
following up next week to see how everyone is doing.  
 
Thank  you!  
 
Kristi
 
DRAFT - Please  personalize and change as desired.
 
Hello  All:  
 
I wanted to  write to you to discuss my participation in the Imagination Fund 
and the March  for Independence.  The Imagination Fund benefits all of the 
members of  the National Federation of the Blind.  All monies raised in the  
Imagination Fund go directly to support our chapters, our affiliates, and our  
NFB Jernigan Institute.  The March for Independence is a 5K walk-a-thon  event 
held each year in conjunction with our national convention.  The  monies raised 
through the march/walk-a-thon go directly to the Imagination  Fund.
 
I am absolutely  committed to the March for Independence because I feel very 
strongly that as a  result of the money raised, I am helping to change what it 
means to be blind  in a very big way.  We all participate in local outreach 
efforts which  are hugely important to our cause, but by helping to raise money 
by walking or  virtually walking, I believe I am helping in a bigger way.  I 
am giving  back just a little time for the opportunity, the security, and the  
independence that the NFB has helped me to achieve.  
 
Partner  with me.  Register for the march right  now. Become a champion for 
the March for Independence,  for our movement.  When I was asked, I couldn't 
say no, I hope you won't  either.
 
Thanks in  advance for your participation.
