Hey, UWG -- Here's a new fundraiser that lets you wear jeans to work!
This September the University of West Georgia is hosting the Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis.
GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest, most successful and most important national fundraising event.
So many young lives depend on the vital, ongoing advances in CF research - to keep that momentum going, we need your help now!
Walking and donating to GREAT STRIDES is such an effective way to add tomorrows every day to the lives of those with cystic fibrosis.
With that said you have an opportunity by supporting these efforts by simply paying a fee of $2 for each day to wear jeans.
The three days that have been designated for this are July 14th, August 11th, and September 8th.
You can participate all 3 days or just one; if you participate all 3 days your total donation will be $6.
You will also receive a sticker for each day you participate so that you can show everyone what you are supporting and spread the word.
Last year’s walk was the first one in Carroll County and we received record amounts in donations; this year we hope to surpass that!
With your help we can do that!
Also, we would love for you to join our team and walk along side us, or you can register your own team!!
It is very easy to sign up, simply follow the link below.
You can also find out more ways you can help or if you just want to know more about the disease.
So, please support us by wearing your “Genes for Jeans” and come out September 11, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. and enjoy a leisure walk, good food, and entertainment - hope to see you there!!
Please send an email to sskinner@westga.edu if you plan on participating in the “Genes for Jeans” days, and you can interoffice your check or money order to the Alumni House. Please make your checks payable to CFF (cystic fibrosis foundation). Thank you in advance for your support!
