2nd Annual Long Island Walk for Prader-Willi Syndrome
May 17, 2009
10am
Wantagh Park, NY

We're gearing up to make this a fantastic 2nd Annual Long Island Walk for PWS and we need your help. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Wantagh Park on May 17th at 10am. We ask that you try to get donors to sponsor your efforts. Let friends, family and colleagues know why you are walking and ask them to donate. This is how we will reach our goal of $10,000.
If someone is sponsoring you as a walker, please be sure to include their information on your pledge sheet. THIS YEAR WE WILL HAVE A SMALL PRIZE FOR THE TOP TWO FUNDRAISERS! So it is important to include all your sponsors on your sheet.
This year we want everyone who attends the walk to be loud and proud. Ask all your friends and family to wear a certain color or wear orange like we do. Come up with a team name and carry a sign. Let everyone know who you are supporting and let your family member with PWS know that this is for them and everyone cares!
We are very excited for the walk this year and are really looking forward to a great day! Proceeds benefit PWSA (USA) and the Prader-Willi Alliance NY
