Register Now for the Motor City March!

 

Summer has faded and Autumn is upon us. It's time to reengage for this year's March for Independence - A Walk for Opportunity walk-a-thon event in Detroit, this July. Once again, our goal this year is to raise at least one million dollars. This will take our collective energy, action, and imagination. I encourage all of you that have yet to register for this year's event to do so now. Whether you are a returning participant or you are signing up for the first time, you will find instructions on how to register below. We will be announcing an assortment of bonuses for those of you who are registered, raising money, and making your goals early, so sign up now and start raising your funds. Once you are registered for this year's Motor City March you can begin personalizing your Web page and sending out e-mails to your contacts, colleagues, family, and friends. This year there are some changes and additions to everyone's personal page. First of all, everyone will get a template page when they register. Pages will not carry over from last year. If you need your text from last year, or your pictures, please call. We will retrieve the information and forward it to you. Additionally, there is an option to blog on your Web page! This is not just a good marketing tool, it is also a great way to keep your network updated on your progress. We are also finalizing efforts to add widgets to social networking sites like Facebook. Stay tuned! Please pass this message and the registration instructions far and wide. We would like to see one thousand registered and raising by December 31, 2008. Together, we can do this! If you have any questions please contact:
