Our annual March For Meals is a fun and fit activity for all ages. Simply keep track of number of miles walked or ran for the month of March. Ask friends, family and/or businesses to sponsor you. Return sponsorship form along with Sponsor donations by April 6, 2018
Our goal is to help the Senior Center raise at least
$5,000
to
purchase a Meals on Wheels Delivery Truck and/or support our meals on wheels program and help provide meals and wellness activities at the center
. Our plan is, if 50 people participate, each could raise
$100
, that’s only 10 sponsors at $10 each, we will achieve our goal. We’re hoping to make this March For Meals an annual event. The more contributions you collect, the more successful we’ll be at achieving our goal. Thank you very much for your participation!
We look forward to all our participants having a great time! For questions or concerns, or to volunteer,
