StMs house_2ColDrk_LghtBluRGB.jpgInvite children too! Kids love to help kids - and they are great fundraisers. Think lemondade stand!

Recruit team sponsors - start with folks at your bank, gym, cleaner, hair salon, and supermarket

Every day, tell at least 1 person about the Walk for St. Mary’s Kids and ask that person for a contribution.

Plan team Pep Rallies, t-shirt decorating events, a bake or a car wash - have fun and raise funds and friends!

StMs house_2ColDrk_LghtBluRGB.jpgIn the last two weeks send updates to ALL team members - try to send one every day.  You can include Walk news, team contribution updates, team plans for the day.  Talk it up, and remember it’s about raising funds for the kids & having fun!

StMs house_2ColDrk_LghtBluRGB.jpgShare your team’s “Why We Walk” story with St. Mary’s Communications team and we’ll send it to your local hometown newspapers to generate publicity. Send it to j.kunz@stmaryskids.org.

Thank you for your support and for Believing in Possible for St. Mary's Kids!
