[NFB-Utah] 2024 NABS Annual Walk-A-Thon!

[nfbutah at gmail.com]

Hello!

 

Please see the below information from the National Association of Blind Students Division.

 

On behalf of the Fundraising Committee, we hope that you are enjoying your summer so far and are finding exciting experiences to make it great!

 

The National Association of Blind Students Division is proud to announce that we are hosting our annual NABS Walk-A-Thon! This fun effort will focus on raising funds for our organization which provides many resources for blind students, including mentorship, guidance on success in high school and higher education, sponsoring attendance at leadership seminars, and sending national student leaders to events to empower our youth.

 

What are we asking of you? Please join us by participating in this initiative, solely involving walking…something that is routine to most of us! You will be able to participate anywhere in the world, as long as you are willing to review your steps at the beginning and end of the day, but we hope you will be walking with us in Orlando, FL, in conjunction with the National Convention of the National Federation of the Blind.

 

As for participating, there will be exciting incentives! The incentives will include $100 for the individual who raises the most, 10% of the total pot for the affiliate who raises the most, and pizza for the group who wins the most. For those who raise $25, you will be put into a raffle to potentially get $50 in cash.

 

Below, you will find two different links. One is to a Google Form that we ask you to fill out when participating, this allows for tracking purposes. The other link will be to the NABS Rally Up page, which provides a way for more information and how you will be participating or donating in our Walk-A-Thon. You will need to make an account on rally up as a way of participation. With Rally Up, you are able to have individuals donate directly to the website or have people sponsor you per metric that they are willing to sponsor you for. For example, I would give you $50 for every mile that you walk. All proceeds under your name will go towards what you raise overall and would be taken into account when calculating for the incentives.

 

Please note that you have to fill out both the Google form and the rally up sign ups in order to be eligible for the incentives. Completing both actions should take no longer than 15 minutes!

All the best,
