Subject: Invitation to making a difference!

Greetings,



 Are you excited to make a difference one step at a time? The National
Association of Blind Students fundraising committee invites you to our
upcoming Walk-a-thon info session that will prelude our annual walk-a-thon
that will be occurring this July. This session aims to answer questions
from participants, provide further information on how the Walk-a-thon will
work, and provide details on how you can make the most out of your
experience. Please join us on June 23 at 7PM EST, and make sure to come
with your questions.



Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/4678833687 (https://zoom.us/j/4678833687)



Get inspired and learn how our Walk-a-thon has made an incredible impact
throughout the years, and how your involvement can make a tremendous
difference. In the meantime, feel free to check out our annual walk-a-thon
page below to see how you can register for this exciting event. 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 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!
