Get Started
Saturday, May 14th – 10 AM – Krape Park
First-let us say THANK YOU for your support! Because of the support of generous individuals like you, women in our community are able to receive FREE life-affirming medical services when faced with an unplanned pregnancy!
Our goal this year is to raise $60,000 – that’s enough to save 50 lives! How can you be a part of saving lives? Just raise funds, and then decide if you will join us in person at Krape Park on May 14th OR if you will participate in another way! If you will be participating on your own visit our Prizes page to learn how to pick up your prizes! To get started:
1) Register and create your own FundEasy page. (see the video below for help) The program has a default goal, but feel free to increase it! Be bold and courageous! OR if you prefer a paper pledge sheet click here for instructions and to download.
2) Contact your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors and ask them to support you in raising funds for Freeport Pregnancy Center.so Use one of the following ways to collect your sponsorships:
- Sponsors can click on your Fundeasy link (via email, Facebook, etc) to sponsor you securely online.
- You can take a pledge of any amount from them, and we will take care of the rest! (Just be sure to record the amount they would like to pledge, an address, and a phone number)
- Record all donations on your pledge sheet and keep them together to bring the day of the Walk. Don’t forget to enter those donations on your FundEasy page! if you are using our online giving platform.
3) If you use a paper Pledge Form or collect checks, you can also mail them to our secure mailbox at P. O. Box 468 Freeport, IL 61032. (Please do not send cash in the mail. Set up a drop-off day by contacting our office.)
4) If you do all your fundraising through FundEasy and/or by collecting pledges (preferred methods) we can mail you your prizes if you prefer not to schedule a pick-up.
5) Be creative in HOW you will raise funds and let your supporters know what you’ll be doing. Email or Facebook are great ways to communicate. If you won’t be joining us in person at Krape Park, walk around your home and track your steps, walk your dog, walk on your treadmill, ride your stationary bike, walk on your elliptical machine, dig up your garden, play some games…be creative! Take a selfie and send them our way so we can share with other supporters!
6) Be sure to check out our Resources page! One of the best responses some of our Walkers get is by sending out a letter. We have a template available that you can adjust to fit you. We also have lots of other great ideas on our Resources Page. Be sure to check it out!
JOIN THE WALK FOR LIFE and help us stand with others in DEFENDING ALL LIFE! To participate in the Walk for Life, first create an online fundraising page or download a Pledge Form.
If online fundraising isn’t your thing-no problem! Just print off the Pledge Form or contact us for one, and follow the instructions for collecting tax-deductible donations. If you use online fundraising please be sure to record your offline pledges on your fundraising page! No matter how you collect pledges, make sure to check out our Tips and Resources page for some great tools! All pledges are a one-time pledge, not a per-mile pledge. This is not an athletic event, so you choose your own pace!
