Dear March for Babies
walker,
We're very excited
you're joining us at our upcoming March for Babies walk. It's going to be a fun and
rewarding day. To help you be prepared for your walk, we have some
last-minute reminders:
·
Send out a final urgent appeal to your potential contributors asking
them to give before your walk. Make sure you forward your link Http://www.marchforbabies.org/wcbabs
so they can make the donation right then. It's fast and safe, and
they'll receive a thank-you and tax receipt for their donation.
·
If you raised money online, print your personalized
sponsor form and bring it with you, along with your cash and checks,
to your walk the day of March for Babies. You could also turn it in to
your team captain ahead of time or at a scheduled bank day.
·
Printing your personalized sponsor form is easy:
1. Log on to your Personal Page.
2. Click the tab "View Sponsor
Form."
3. Add cash and check donations (scroll
down to "add cash/check donations").
4. At the top of page, click
"Printer-Friendly Version."
·
If you raised all your money offline, fill out your name, contact
information, total donation amount and your walksite on your sponsor
form. We want to make sure that you get proper credit for your efforts.
·
Your incentive prize will be based on the total of offline
and online contributions that are reflected at the bottom of your sponsor
form.
We're grateful you're
joining us in walking together for stronger, healthier babies!
Thanks for all
you've done!
The
March for Babies Team

Marching On
All of us at the
March of Dimes were deeply saddened and concerned by the explosions
at the Boston Marathon. Our thoughts and sympathy go out to the
victims and their families. As March for Babies approaches, we
want you to know that the safety of your family is our top priority
and we are working closely with local law enforcement to make sure
your event is safe and secure. Babies still need your help,
and we hope you will join us as we celebrate our wish for a
healthier future for our nation's children.

Matching gifts
Does your company have a matching gift program? Check with your
company's personnel department. Ask your donors if their employers
have matching gifts, too. All donations that qualify for matching
must have a matching gift form. Matching gifts take a little effort
on your part, but it's worth it since it could DOUBLE your total!
