Very Basic Question from a newbie

Hello:

I'm just starting to look into walking in Boston in May. I've looked over the website but cannot find anywhere if there is a required amount of money that must be raised to participate in the Avon Walk. Can someone please tell me what the financial requirements are? Thanks so much.

Andrea

You have to raise $1,800 in order to walk. It's also $65 to register, unless you do that at an introduction meeting or the great start party (it's only $45 there)

Hi Andrea,

Welcome to the walk!

When one goes through the online registration process, on step #2: Select a Participation Type, the info next to "Walker" states: As a Walker, you'll be asked to commit to raising a minimum of $1,800. You'll also be asked to set your own fundraising goal. It's up to you to decide how much more than the minimum you'll aim to raise. It's a big commitment, but remember that we're all in this together so you'll have all the tools and support you'll need to meet, and probably exceed, that goal.

The information can also be found under the tab: The Cause --> FAQs. Under the heading Fundraising is the following Q and A: As a Walker, how much money do I have to raise in order to participate in the Avon Walk? Each Walker commits to raising a minimum of $1,800 in donations.

There is additional information in that section about what happens if you don't raise the $1800 and why walkers are required to raise this amount.

All the FAQs can be read here --> http://walk.avonfoundation.org/site/PageServer?pagename=walk_faq

Hope this helps.

"As a Walker, how much money do I have to raise in order to participate in the Avon Walk?
Each Walker commits to raising a minimum of $1,800 in donations."

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the main Avon site is very helpful for basic questions. Go to "The Cause" (at the top of the screen) and click on "FAQ" -- then click on "Fundraising". Or just click on the following link (http://www.avonwalk.org/cause/walk-faq.html#fundraising).
