Hello Friends of DSIG! We would like to expand our sponsor base for our 2013 Walk-a-Thon, so if you work for a company, union, or use other vendors who might be interested in being a sponsor, please e-mail me their name and address, and I will send them a sponsor letter. Sponsors who donate $500 or more, will have their name and logo on the back of our event t-shirt. Those who donate less than $500 will be recognized on the walk brochure for the following year and on our sponsor board the day of the walk. The deadline for t-shirt sponsors is 2/28/13.
* Sponsorship Forms: 2013 Sponsorship Form
We are in need of raffle items, silent auction items, and items for gift baskets. Patty White will be the point of contact for these items, so please contact me at [email protected] or 610-544-2711.
* Raffle Flyer: 2013 Raffle Flyer
Walk brochures were mailed out in early February, so if you did not receive yours, please let us know. With $20 in pledges, you are guaranteed an event t-shirt. We encourage you to pre-register for the walk to eliminate long lines at the check in table. Ask your friends and family to join us that day and collect pledges.
If you are interested in helping out the day of the walk, please use the form below. It takes a lot of woman and man power to make this yearly event a success. Volunteer time slots are in 30 minute intervals, so there is still plenty of time to enjoy the walk with your family.
Please save the date for Down Syndrome Awareness Day with Philadelphia Flyers! It is a 1pm game on November 9th, 2013. Tickets are very limited so it will be on a first come first serve basis. This outing is sponsored by the T21 Club of Delaware Valley. More information will be forth coming from Jennifer Bonawitz of the T21 Club. Stay tuned.
This years Down Syndrome Awareness Day with the Philadelphia Flyers will be November 9th!
There are only a handful of tickets left. If interested, please email us ASAP. Thanks!
Please join us for another morning of FUN and friendship. We will be in need of Silent Auction items and baskets for our Basket Raffle. Also, if you have a suggestion for a new sponsor for this year, please contact Patty at, [email protected].
We will also need volunteers to help the morning of the walk, so please consider helping out. This is our main fundraiser for the year and it allows us to continue to sponsor events for our families throughout the year.
Join us for food, fun, and entertainment. This is a great chance for individuals, families, and the community to get together to help make a tremendous difference in the lives of those with Down Syndrome.
A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:
