Individual Walkers

Everyone is welcome...Gather sponsors to support your efforts. It is suggested that each walker set a personal goal of collecting support contributions from friends and neighbors that add up to a penny for each foot walked. One penny per foot equals $52.80, for the one-mile walk. Click here for some great fundraising ideas.

If your sponsor(s) would like a receipt for their cash donation, it is your responsibility to complete the sponsorship receipt form found in the "forms" link. Muncie Mission is prohibited by law from preparing cash receipts without donor present.
If collected funds are turned in prior to February 9, you will receive a free official "Walk a Mile in my Shoes" T-shirt so you can wear it to the walk. Pre-walk funds need to be brought to Muncie Mission administration office at 520 S. High St. Funds may also be turned in the day of the walk during registration, 8-9AM and receive your T-shirt.
Individuals are encouraged to turn in collected funds by 2/7/08. Why.....all walkers registered when funds are turned in by the above date will have their names included in a special drawing for a $50 gas card, winner will be announced at the event. Additionally, those individuals registered will also receive an official Walk a Mile t-shirt so they can wear it to the walk. The deadline for turning in funds to qualify for the drawing is 4:30 PM 2/7/08. Funds must be turned into Muncie Mission administration office at 520 S. High St.
