Hi Friends,
I am looking for a few friends to join "my team" for an upcoming 24 hour "Treadmill-a-Thon" to help raise funds for The McGehee Family's international adoption. The good news is that we can sign up for as little or as much time as we want on the treadmills!
This
event will be held at the Brentwood YMCA (Concord Rd). The start time
is May 10th at 6 p.m. and the end time is May 11th at 6 p.m. (Remember,
we pick the time slot we want for this. We are only running an hour or
small portion of this time frame.) Each team member will go to their
family and friends asking for "sponsors" to make donations to this
event! All team members raising or donating at least $25 by April 25
will receive an Run For Our Son event T-shirt and be
registered in a drawing for an iPad Mini! Alright! Who doesn't want a
chance for that! For every additional $25 in support you raise you will
receive additional tickets for more chances to win the iPad. Also, for
each mile that you walk or run at the event you will be given tickets to
register for door prize drawings.
Just think. . . . your daily exercise can help bring
their son home! Sure hope you will consider joining my team! Our team
can run/walk at the same time or you can choose the hour that's best for
you. Let me know what you think!!

Hi _______,
I have been involved in helping the McGehee Family with an adoption fund raiser for their international adoption. Hopefully, we are
just a few months away from meeting their son. The fund raiser we have been
planning is a "24 hour Run/Walk-A-Thon". I know you love to run, so I am
wondering if you would join my team?
Here's the scoop:
WHAT: 24 hour Run/Walk-A-Thon
WHERE: We are partnering with the Brentwood Family YMCA and plan to take over their treadmills. . . for the cause!
The
good news is that our team will only be scheduled for a portion of the time on the
treadmills, not for the whole 24 hours! Our team can choose the time slot but if it doesn't
fit your schedule, NO WORRIES! You can run/walk anytime during the 24
event. Hey, you can even be a "Couch Potato" and still participate. I
bet your sponsors wouldn't mind! Just indicate your preference when you
register.
WHEN: It will be held from 6pm Friday, May 10 - 6 pm Saturday, May 11.
WHO:
This event is open for anyone! You might even want to form your own
team and enter the event. Running groups, golf buddies, Bunko clubs,
bible study groups, or even a few close friends with a heart for
adoption make a perfect group.
HOW: Here's
how to get started. I will have the website link for registration in
another day or 2 that I can send. Simply follow the link and sign-up!
There is NO cost to join, but those who can raise $25 in support by
April 25th will receive an event t-shirt. That's simply getting 5 people
to donate $5 (a coffee stop at Starbucks) to link arms with us to bring
another orphan home. What an easy start. You might ask those same 5
friends to give $10 each and your donation would double! Here's the fun.
. . with each $25 that you raise (or give on your own), you will get
raffle tickets for chances to win an iPad Mini. When you check-in at the event
to run (even outside on the trail on your own) you will qualify to win
more door prizes. Tickets for these door prizes will be given for each
mile a participant runs/walks. I am including an attachment
with an event flier to help in getting sponsors that you can print or
I'll be happy to supply some fliers for you.
Please
say you'll be on my team (unless of course, you want to being a team of
your own running buddies) !!!!!! THEN, the fun can begin!!
Isn't this a great way to make our daily exercise count for His Kingdom, not just calories!
Blessings,
____________ (Your Name)
PS. Remember $25 by the 25th gets an event t-shirt and your first ticket for the iPad/hotel drawing!

I am sending this message to invite you to sponsor me in an upcoming
