Invisible Children’s Second Annual Walkathon
What: A four-hour walk-a-thon to raise money and awareness for the Schools for Schools campaign for Elon’s chapter of Invisible Children.
Where & When: Track behind Rhodes Stadium from 4-8pm on Oct. 11.
Who: Team of five to ten people and as many “fans” as you can recruit.
How: Register by Sept. 19. Each team member’s registration fee is $15 (includes t-shirt). Turn in paperwork and funds to the Kernodle Center. You can pick up your registration packets in the Kernodle Center (Moseley 230).
Registration fees can be paid cash/check (all checks must be made out to “Invisible Children: Schools for Schools”)
Why: Money raised builds a school in Uganda by Elon’s chapter. Why else? Food, games, music and tons of great prizes.
Once registered, here are ways to start earning money (prizes are based on money raised):
Donors: Go out and ask people if they’d pledge money towards this cause. You can send letters home, or just talk to friends and family. Remind people their donations are tax-deductable.
Fans: While you can only have 5 to 10 people per team, fans have no limits. Fans can get in for $5 and be a part of all the festivities as well. Their entrance fee and any additional donations they make also count towards your team.
Merchandise: When you buy any of the merchandise, baked goods, or request a song, your team receives credit for these purchases (so bring money!!)
