Come join the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation on our 28th year of WalkAmerica. It's easy, fun and will benefit fathers, mothers and babies.
-
Who
Approximately 1,500,000 walkers and volunteers in over 1,400 communities across the U.S. Some people will participate as Team Walkers representing a company, school group or organization. Family and friends are welcome to join the team. Some people will walk as Individuals on their own. WalkAmerica is a fun, social event for everyone involved, and a good promotion for sponsors.
- Why
The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation is the number one voluntary health organization dedicated to improving infant health and fighting birth defects and infant mortality. We walk for healthier babies!
- How to begin
Increase awareness of your co-workers, form a Walkteam and distribute sponsor envelopes to them. Invite all employees, friends and family to join the Walkteam. Have all Teamwalkers mail in their pre-registration forms, or as the Team Captain, collect all Teamwalkers pre-registration forms and mail together. Publicize Teamwalk and your organization's participation in your newsletter or bulletin. Post Walkamerica posters wherever possible. Plan wraparounds to increase enthusiasm. Be creative and promote your company's Walk efforts!
- WALK DAY
In appreciation of the walkers' participation, a complimentary lunch is provided at the finish line. Refreshments will also be provided along the route. All registered walkers who walk receive a favor on Walk Day. Prizes are awarded to those walkers collecting $100 or more. Wear comfortable clothing, walking shoes and extra socks.
