Fall Fundraiser Details
Cash pledges for a Walk-a-thon are replacing cash catalog sales
Students will:
- pledge to walk on October 27th
- ask people they know for cash pledges to support their walk
- record, collect and store pledge information and money in a special walk envelope
- turn in the envelope with pledges and money throughout the weeks leading up to the walk for chances to win prizes
Challenges with prize opportunities will be made to the students to encourage pledge gathering, create enthusiasm and promote health awareness.
A pre-Walk Dinner will be held October 26th to raise additional donations and build excitement about the walk. Pre-sales tickets will offer reduced dinner prices.
Walk Day on October 27th will be held at Armatage Park - outside if nice, inside the Park building if not. Students who walk will get T-shirts. Health related booths, giveaways and activities will also be available.
With catalog or other merchandise sales, only 50% of all profits generated by Armatage students actually went to the school. With this event, ALL money collected in pledges and dinner sale will go 100% towards Armatage school and its students!!!!

Tina, Dawn and Foster Walk Team,
John (Shipley) said he would talk with the Wild to see if he could "get anything" for the walk, also he could direct us to people at the Pie Press for a story...not as local as the Trib., but if your interested let me know.
Seems a lot of Armatage parents work for Target...just need to get the word out that we need help. Steph (Joe's Mom #110)
P.S. The blog is great...thanks for all your time and your Spirit.
!RUN FOSTER RUN!
Hi Steph and John-
Thanks so much for the offer of help. Anything with the Wild would be great. Some ideas are having a rep for a rally we are planning for the week of October 15th (it's probably hard for a player but a mascot coming would be fun to get the kids charged up!), giveaways for Rally or Walk Day, a prize for a raffle or some kind of demo about the team and their sport on Walk Day, Oct 27th. Can you tell we'd be really excited to have their support? Also, I would like to know more about Pie Press and what audience we could reach. If there's anything you can email, mine is dawnjosephsarah@comcast.net or call at my home phone number, 612-926-2466. Thanks again for your help and ideas! Dawn
