Tallahassee Community One Walk Day Details 3/24/18
Walk Details:
DATE: Saturday, March 24th (Rain or Shine) TIME: Check-in/Registration opens at 8:00 a.m. / Walk Starts at 9:00 a.m. Arrive early to turn in money at Registration, take part in aerobic warm ups, and enjoy a light breakfast! There will be lunch, music, and fun for the family following the Walk (including bounce houses, face painting and games for the kids). Location: Genesis Church – Address: 4070 Mission Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32303
If you or a loved one have T1D, it’s always a good idea to bring diabetes supplies with you during the Walk. However, if you are experiencing a low blood sugar along the route, you can ask for a juice at water stations. You can visit First Aid if needed. Pet Care: In consideration of other guests, if bringing a dog, please keep them on a leash and be prepared to clean up after your pet along the route or at the Walk Site.
Turning in Money:
Turning in Money on Walk Day: On Walk day, check-in/registration will open at 8:00 a.m. This is where you will go if you have any money to turn in, have not yet registered, or need to pick up a Breakthrough T1D t-shirt ticket if you’ve raised $100 or more. (T-shirt tickets may be redeemed at the t-shirt tent) Check-in/registration will be located directly in front of the church and will be marked with signs. Please make sure to turn in all monies BEFORE Walk starts. As registration will close when walk starts.
On Walk day it’s very important that envelopes at registration are filled out completely. This will ensure the proper Walker is credited and the money collected counts to your team. Data provided on the envelope will be critical for the data processing center that will be entering your donations onto your walker pages.
Want to win $10,000? Don’t forget to make your Birdies for Charity guess on the back of your walker envelopes.
*** Also, don’t forget that with any donation of $20 or more, you can participate in the Birdies for Charity program! Click here for more info and be sure to provide us with your guess on how many birdies will be made in THE PLAYERS and also as a tie breaker, how many balls will go into the water. Don’t miss this opportunity help Breakthrough T1D “win” big and your chance to win a prize of $10,000 as well!
