As you may or may not already know, my family participates in the Columbus Buddy Walk, to honor my son with Down syndrome. This year, Team Alex is celebrating our 11th walk!
To help drive our fundraising efforts, I just sent out a message to our previous supporters. In an effort to reach even more people with this information, I thought this would make great material for Tales from the Duck Pond.
And so, I give you today’s blog.
June 10, 2014
Team Alex is back again and ready for our biggest year ever! Registration is open; you can sign up to walk with us on Sunday, 9/21, at Crew Stadium by visiting our team’s fundraising page. We can’t wait to see you there!
If you are a business owner (or know someone who is!), and would like information about becoming an event sponsor for the 2014 Columbus Buddy Walk, please contact me ASAP. Team Alex will be credited with any sponsorship dollars we bring in this year. This is a very exciting change to the fundraising incentives! There are many great benefits to event sponsorship, and I will be happy to share the details if you are interested.
Team Alex already has many great fundraisers in the works: an exciting campaign is coming soon from I Heart Garments (keep an eye on the Team Alex Facebook page for more details – be sure to “like” us while you’re there!), a Tupperware fundraiser, the ever popular Team Alex Kickball Game (set for 7/13…save the date!), and our annual City BBQ fundraiser. If you have any ideas for more fundraisers, or would like to host a fundraising event at work, church, or social group (Dress Down for Down Syndrome, etc…), please let me know!
We can’t wait for this year’s Buddy Walk! We hope to see you there.
All the best,
Jen Franklin Kearns
Captain, Team Alex
