Conference Call #3 Recap

The final Challenge Walk MS conference call was held September 11 at 6 p.m. Highlights are as follows:

Numbers Update:  Currently 132 walkers, 16 Super Crew and 49 crew members have registered. Alpine is ready for us, and the route is ready too!

Fundraising Deadline Reminder: The fundraising deadline is Monday, September 23. If you turned in a Promise to Pay form, the $1,500 is due by then. If you’re unable to attend Challenge Walk MS for some reason, please remember that the registration fees and all donations are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Celebration Club: Secure $2,500 or more in pledges and become a member of the Celebration Club. Bronze members ($2,500-$4,999) receive a wearable item, Silver members ($5,000-$9,999) receive a wearable and a commemorative item, Gold members ($10,000 or more) receive a wearable, commemorative item and free registration for 2014.

Meet ‘N’ Greet: Relax with your team members, catch up with friends from past walks and get to know new participants at the Alpine Lodge bar on Thursday night. Light snacks, cash bar and a wine pull (pick a surprise bottle of wine in exchange for a donation) will be part of the evening.

First-time participants are invited to gather at the event check-in area (in the west lobby) at 7 p.m. Thursday for a separate quick and casual meet-and-greet of other rookie participants. It will be a great way to break the ice!

Group Photo: Each year a group photo is taken of all the participants together. In past years it was taken after the victory mile walk on Sunday. This year we’re going to take it Friday morning at the Clark Park start line location when everyone is fresh, energized and excited to get on the route. Be sure to bring your smiles that morning!

Meals for Family Members and Support Teams: Single meals can be purchased at the dining room entrance: $10 breakfast (Sat/Sun), $ 8 lunch  (Fri/Sat), $18 dinner (Fri/Sat). NOTE: Sunday lunch is only for event participants only; please ask friends to meet you at finish line at Murphy Park. For all weekend meals, volunteers can purchase a wristband for $56, family members for $72.
