​The Chubu Walkathon celebrated its 25th anniversary last year with record high levels in a number of aspects, including, the number of people involved in planning, the number of walkers, the level of community spirit, the amount of fundraising support, and, most importantly, the amount of funds distributed. We are extremely grateful for your support last year, and, in turn, to the many causes we were able to lend a hand to help.
The Planning Committee for the 2017 event is well under way, and the 26th Chubu Walkathon is now just a little over 4 weeks away!
Our work is far from over, and we need volunteers and leaders to help ensure a successful event again this year. We would like companies and organizations to step forward and donate or make a pledge as a corporate sponsor as soon as possible. We also ask everyone in our community selling (and purchasing) raffle tickets to join us for this year's event!.
100% of raffle ticket sales goes to charity. If every person reading this message sold five tickets, we would double what we typically raise.
If you have any free time and are willing to help with planning groups, it would also be greatly appreciated. Most of the work is done by a handful of amazing people who donate their time and energy year in and year out.
Our final planning meetings will be held on the following Thursdays from 7:00 p.m. at Coat of Arms Pub and Restaurant: April 20, April 27, May 11 and May 18.
As a member of the ACCJ, we would like to ask for your support. Your contribution will make a difference.
