2008 Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas Buddy Walk
Flagpole Hill, Dallas map Sunday, November 9 2008 11:00am - 3:00pm, Walk at 1:00pm
I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage you and your "buddies" - everyone from friends and family to teachers, legislators, and celebrities - to join us for the 2008 Buddy Walk. People from all over the area participate in a one mile walk at Flagpole Hill to promote awareness for all people with Down Syndrome. In addition, we raise funds to help support local programs and national research, education and advocacy efforts. Needless to say, it promotes a cause that is close to our hearts.
You can help by creating a team to raise funds by asking friends, family, classmates or co-workers to make donations to help support the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas. Our Buddy Walk teams inspire others to participate by walking with us or making a donation. Encourage your friends and family to join us for a fun and heart-warming day with the walk itself, followed by food, fun, games and music. Teams receive Buddy Walk t-shirts and special prizes will be awarded to the registered teams that raise the most money. It's easy to get started by using the Team Captain registration form and the Team Member Sign Up Sheet to build your Buddy Walk team.
We are also looking for corporate sponsorships -- if you, your company, or anyone you know is interested in sponsoring the Buddy Walk, please contact us at dsged@sbcglobal.net for a sponsorship packet. There are several sponsorship levels from which to choose - and one is right for you!
Come be a part of this great day and do your part to help promote awareness and acceptance of people with Down Syndrome. I look forward to seeing you on November 9th. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity
Kindest regards,
Terri McKinney 2008 Buddy Walk Chairman
