FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is there a fee to register?    Pre-registration is free. All walkers that sign up to walk and collect sponsors before the event walk for free. Walkers that register on the day of the walk will be charged a $20 fee to help support The Women's Clinic.

How far is the walk?     It's 5K or about 3 miles.

What if I can't walk or run 3 miles?   Its your best effort that matters the most - crossing the starting line is more important than crossing the finish line!

Can I run?    Yes, there will be lanes marked for runners as well.

What if I want to help, but can't be there that day?     Don't let that stop you! You can walk anytime, anywhere, and it still counts! Just mail your completed pledge sheet to The Women's Clinic.

What if it rains?   Show up anyway! If the weather looks like rain, bring an umbrella - we'll still be there! If it does rain we'll walk inside Bradley Hall right next door to Jack Johnson Field.

How do I get sponsors?    Simply ask everyone you know...friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, gym buddies, etc. Use the helpful tips and tricks in the fundraising packet to help you. An easy way to get started is to simply ask: "Will you sponsor me as I WALK FOR LIFE? " You'll be surprised at how many people will say "YES!"  Every contribution makes a difference!

How many sponsors should I have?   LOTS! The more sponsors you have, the more women and babies The Women's Clinic can help!

Are pledges per mile?   No need to pull out the calculator! All pledges are "flat" amounts - a $10 sponsorship is a $10 sponsorship, period.

Do I have to collect the pledges?    NO! Turn in your sponsor sheets at the WALK and we will collect all those marked PLEDGE through the mail.  Be sure to list their complete mailing address, city, state and zip code, and we will gladly send them a pledge statement and return envelope after the WALK. if your sponsor chooses to pay you directly, circle CASH, CHECK or Credit Card and include their payment information.

What do I receive for getting sponsors?    Best of all, you get to partner with us in the work of saving lives! We have also put together an exciting prize program that will motivate you no matter how much you raise!
