Start collecting tax-deductible contributions. Use the attached form to keep track of your contributions.  The contribution form and money will be collected when you check in prior to the walk.   Check-in will start at 11:00 a.m.  We will begin walking/running at noon.  You will receive a map and a water bottle.  Please check in upon finishing your walk.
