[Ohio-Talk] Walk with NABS this summer.

[Richard Payne]

Please read the message from Joshua Olukanni,

I would love to have someone from the affiliate to take this on and
represent Ohio but when you read the email do what you can to assist.

We just got off the phone and he gave me a great pitch if you would like to
do this for us reach out to me off list you also can just participate.

Friends and Family,

 This is a friendly reminder to walk with NABS this summer! At the National
Association of Blind Students, 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, if 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 can 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!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
