We are just 8 days away from the day of the walk and there are some things that all Team Captains need to do to get your Walkers sparked for the final fundraising sprint.

  • Update your team on how many Walkers you have and the total raised so far -- compare this to your goal
  • Acknowledge your top performers on the team
  • Share ways that they can increase their fundraising – recheck your email and address files to make sure they have asked all their friends, family, coworkers and church members and neighbors.
  • Share your experience of things that have worked for you and other team members
  • Challenge your Walkers to meet or increase their goals
  • Remind them why you see this as a very important event that makes a difference in lives

The final raffles will be drawn next Thursday:

  • For all Walkers who have $400 or more you will be eligible for a $60 gift card to TGIF and a $50 gift card from BP to fill your tank to go out for dinner.
  • For all Walkers who have $250 to $399 you will be eligible for a $50 gift card to Applebee’s
  • For all Walkers who have $150 to $249 you will be eligible for one of three NAMIWalks baseball caps

Please contact your Walkers to let them know about the raffles.

Thanks for supporting NAMI!
