WALK ‘N ROLL FOR SPINA BIFIDA 

Created to be an annual fundraising event, the first Walk ‘N Roll for Spina Bifida in 2006 was a great success – 100 participants raised more than $20,000.

REGISTER NOW FOR THE WALK 'N ROLL FOR SPINA BIFIDA ON OCTOBER 14, 2007

Registration is now open for the 2nd Annual Walk 'N Roll for Spina Bifida, which will be held at North Park in Alpharetta, GA on Sunday, October 14, 2007. 

The fundraising event to benefit the Spina Bifida Association of GA will follow the same structure as last year, with a full one-mile walk, followed by a picnic for all participants. 

Registration kits are available online (see registration instructions below), at the Spina Bifida Clinic held at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite and also soon at participating clinic physicians' offices.  Kits will also be mailed to individuals and families in the SBAG database.

Registration for the Walk is $25 per person, which includes a T-shirt and picnic lunch; the maximum registration fee per immediate family is $100.

Participating individuals and families are encouraged to raise $100 in sponsorship donations. 

"Last year for our very first Walk, our families worked very hard and raised $20,000 above the costs for the event.  This year, we've set our goal higher -- to $30,000, so we hope everyone will again lend their strong participation," announced committee co-chairs Johanna Fell and Linda Preuss.

"We already have several sponsors, so we are very optimistic about the success of this year’s efforts.  We generated a great deal of support from the community last year and we now building on a greater awareness of spina bifida.

SBAG Executive Director Jim Okula said plans are underway for staging a Walk also in Columbus, GA this year.

"We want to call attention to children and adults with spina bifida in the greater Columbus area, which represents the second largest population of individuals with spina bifida in Georgia."

Awards will be given again for the individual and team which raise the largest donations.  Last year's winning team raised over $3,000.
