Thu Jun 20 15:54:53 UTC 2024

Andra, I am donating 50 dollars to your walk. Let me know how to get it over.

I invite everyone in-person or virtually, even if you are not attending at all, you still can pledge.

Good morning/afternoon,

I think I set up a page on rally up.com <http://up.com> . I did not get a confirmation email. And tried to invite people and I had to know everybody’s emails. So, I hope I am doing this right. And I didn’t want to say I was the administrator because I am not. Anyone else from the affiliate doing this? Thanks and have a great day.

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.
