PET
WALK
Pet Walk is a great way to
get involved with AIDS Walk Long Beach and have fun
with your four-legged family member. Of course,
Pet Walk is not limited to just four-legged pets.
Walkers have sponsored birds, turtles, cats, and
lizards just to name a few.
Long Beach was the first
AIDS Walk in the country to have a Pet Walk.
Since then, many AIDS Walks across the country have
added this fun component to the walk. Your pet
can enjoy the outdoors, you have fun while raising
funds for a worthwhile cause and we give away fun pet
gifts from our sponsors.
1.
How do you
register for Pet Walk?
First register as a Walker
on-line, then download the Pet Registration Form.
Complete the form, start your fundraising and bring
your form on the day of the Walk. Check-In at
the Pet Registration Booth and get your Official
Registration Bag of Goodies.
2. Ensure
that all your pets vaccinations are up to date.
Pets must be kept on leashes at all times. Some
even bring wagons or carts for their pets to ride in.
We encourage you to be creative as you want.
Walkers have just as much fun looking at your pets as
they do having fun with the Walk itself. Some owners
dress-up their pets in wild costumes or decorate their
pet wagons. You're sure to get a lot of pictures
taken by the participants!
3. Start collecting
pledges for your Pet Walker.
Pick up a form at many
locations throughout Long Beach, download the form or
even call our office at (562) 987-5200 for the Walker
Sponsorship Pledge Form. Don't forget to set a
goal for yourself and use our on-line fundraising tips
to help you raise money.
4. Do your fundraising
on-line or off-line.
Fundraising can be done
on-line with our easy and secure on-line donation
process. On-line
donations actually keeps our costs of fundraising down
and you raise more.
You can create your own webpage easily, write a little
bio about your efforts, upload a
picture of you and your pet, send out e-mails
to friends and family.
Tough you can still use the Pet Walk Donation form,
those who used the on-line fundraising process last year
raised 60% more using the easy on-line functions.
5. Start
fundraising and having fun!
Who can say NO to a picture of a pet? When you add
that with a terrific cause like AIDS Walk Long Beach,
and all your friends and family will want to help out.
Plus, the top three Pets raising the most funds will be
awarded their First Place,
Second Place and
Third Place Awards and
Prizes on Walk Day.
