can make the most out of your experience. Please join us on June 23 at 7PM EST,

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. </span></p>

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. </span></p>
