Pledging & Billing Continued…
If you chose to self-bill your sponsors, please continue to collect pledges and flat donations this week! If you would like the school to bill your sponsors, please contact Emily (egarlock@sfschool.org). And remember, all materials can be found online at www.sfschool.org/walkathon or at the Walkathon Materials Station near the Front Desk.

We are looking forward to collecting funds for indoor and outdoor classroom projects and facility refurbishments around the school, and need your help to do this in a timely manner!

All Donations Can Be Made Online!

Donations can be made through www.sfschool.org/walkathon through November. If you would like to receive an update on which of your student’s sponsors have already made an online contribution, please contact Emily (egarlock@sfschool.org).

Already Received Your Student’s Pledges and Donations? Time to Say Thanks!
Thank you to everyone who is working on, or who has already completed their Walkathon 2011 Pledging and Billing process! If you have not already done so, please take a moment to check out this letter that can be used as a template in the final step of the process – thanking your sponsors!

We hope that the Walkathon provides our student’s with a real-life example of the importance of both philanthropy and the stewardship of philanthropic activities. In a constantly evolving online society, it can become increasingly challenging to involve your students in the Walkathon fund solicitation process. We encourage you to invite your child(ren) to be part of this important school-wide effort by involving them in the thank you process! Thank you!
