KANSAS CITY AIDS WALK INFORMATION
(Everything you wanted to know….and then some…)
TO JOIN TEAM JERRYZ KIDZ AND WALK
Get your donation and pledge faces on and get ready to raise money for Jerryz Kidz/Aids Walk. It’s simple, easy and most people are willing to sponsor you to walk or make a straight donation for such a worthy cause. All it takes is a friendly e-mail, phone call or a stroll around your office or neighborhood to see if people are willing to donate to Aids Walk Kansas City. So, sign up as a team walker then start getting pledges & donations from family, friends and neighbors! Also, many companies do a “Matching Gift” contribution- so if any of your co-workers donate/pledge, they may be eligible thru your company for a “matching gift” – check into it!
This year if you sign up as a Jerryz Kidz Team Member you have a couple fundraising choices you can use the attached pledge sheets like we have done in the past and/or each member can create his/her own online individual fundraising page complete with a personal statement, pictures, and daily updates on pledge totals. If you wish to create your own page which will be linked with the Jerryz Kidz team page follow the instructions below, its pretty simple (even if it may not seem like it at first glance – it really is easy), if you have any questions or need any help please don’t hesitate to contact me.
NEW This year, there is a great tool for those of you on Facebook! There is an app you can choose that will load your fundraising page onto your Facebook account – this will enable all your friends to make donations thru Facebook and is an additional tool to help you get donations.
