It’s Time to Rise Up!
Written by: Christina Maurice (Special Events Marketing Coordinator)
Through New Life Solutions’ family of ministries, babies are saved from abortion, women are empowered, teens are equipped with truth, and families are transformed. All of our services are free, including the medical services we offer at our A Woman’s Place Medical Clinics. We are able to provide these services for free because of financial gifts that come through our fundraisers. One of our fundraisers occurs every spring, and is coming up next month on Saturday, May 8, on Mother’s Day weekend. It is the Walk For Life, and this year’s theme is “Rise Up for New Life!”
You Can Get Involved
When you Walk For Life, you help save lives. We encourage every walker to raise pledges by getting at least one sponsor. A sponsor could be a friend, family member, co-worker, neighbor, etc. A walker can even self-sponsor! Sponsorships can come in the form of cash, checks, online donations, or pledges. We encourage walkers to ask potential sponsors to make a pledge, so they do not have to donate on the spot. People are more likely to make a gift if they can pay it later, and we do not want any of our walkers to feel like they need to collect money. After the event is over, our team will mail pledge reminders to all unpaid sponsors, making it super easy for them to fulfill their pledge at their convenience.
Every Pledge Counts
Each pledge adds up, helping to save and transform lives by enabling us to continue providing free services throughout our ministry. We have found that it takes approximately $1,500 to help save one baby, so you can make that your personal goal, team goal, or your small group’s goal from church! You can also earn prizes depending on how many pledges you raise. More pledges raised means more lives saved and more women & men who can receive help, hope & healing!
Helping to Save a Life is as Easy as 1, 2, 3
Ask everyone you know to be a sponsor. If you signed-up online, you can share your own personal fundraising page link on your social media pages or email & text! Tag us @iwalkforlife Instagram & Twitter or @Walk For Life: New Life Solutions on Facebook to spread the word. You can also use a handwritten form to write down pledges!
Turn in your pledge form(s) (handwritten forms and/or online forms) to us at one of our Walk or Drive-Thru locations on Saturday, May 8, or mail it to us at 1910 East Bay Drive, Largo, FL 33771. You can also e-mail your forms to walk@newlifesolutions.org. And you can still earn prizes even if you cannot attend the event! If you raise $250 or more in pledges, you will receive a Walk T-shirt as well as any other prizes earned (see this year’s prize levels here). We will contact you if you have earned any prizes.
Since the Walk can be in-person or virtual, you can walk anytime, anywhere! Have fun and thank you for helping to Save a Life!
