We are trying to spearhead a walk-a-thon as a fundraiser for a new Heart Health Institute and Wellness Center that we will be building on 44 acres of rural property here in West Branch, Michigan. We would be very interested in receiving an ebook as well.

Thank you in advance, Cynthia

Hi Katie,
Your proceeds can vary greatly, from $100 to $500,000 or more. One way to figure it out is estimate how many people would show up, and then how many donations people would realistically be able and willing to raise. If you think you could interest 200 walkers, and each walker raises $200 in donations, that is $40,000. Your cost might be $10 or $15 per walker for a T Shirt and some drinks and hot dogs, so subtract about $3000 to make $37,000. That would make a nice grant.

Good luck,
Lee

I am thinking about having a walk-a-thon to raise money for our foundation that gives grants for special education in schools. Can you give me a realistic idea of how much we could expect to make on a walk-a-thon?
Thanks,
Katie

Hi Sharon, Regarding needing a permit, it depends on where you are having the walkathon and what the local requirements are. If you have a location and day in mind, it would be best to check with the local officials that are responsible for that location. For the walkathons we've held on school grounds, we just needed permission from the school. If you plan to use town property, you would need to check with the appropriate town officials. You had also asked about a single Synagogue holding a walkathon. I don't know of any issues with that, but it would be best to check with the leadership of your specific Synagogue. There is a lot of free information about organizing walkathons on my websites (walkathonguide.com and walkathonshop.com), but I don't have a free booklet. I do have an e-book for sale at http://www.walkathonshop.com/thebook.html, where you will also see a link to a free preview of the book, including the complete table of contents. Good Luck! Lee

I work with a service called E-Junkie. You should get an email message from them with a link. You click on that link, and can download from there. I’ll email you personally to be sure it worked for you. Thank you. -Lee
