MS Walk Info!

For all of those on my team here is a little more info about the MS walk this weekend. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here's the inside scoop for the 20th Anniversary of Walk MS Utah: Salt Lake City

We are just days away from Walk MS 2009 here in Salt Lake City. Preparations are well under way for a fantastic event and we're so excited for you to join us! Here is a list of some very important things you'll want to keep in mind and share with your team. A reminder email will be going out to ALL participants very soon sharing much of the same information.

EVERYONE PARTICIPATING IN THE WALK MUST PLEASE CHECK IN. No exceptions.

• Check-in, registration and breakfast begins at 8am in the Grand Hall (this is the second-level area between Taifoon and Urban Outfitters). Come early and grab some breakfast to fuel up for the Walk. The program starts at 9:45am and the Walk starts at 10am!
  
  
• Check in as a team if possible. This will help with any issues regarding prizes or splitting up team donations that haven't already been done prior to the event. Remember: Prizes are based on individual participant amounts. If you've raised as a team and need to split up who gets what, please do so prior to checking in. Call Ryan at 801-424-0112 for any questions.
  
  
• Bring your signed contribution envelope which you should have received in the mail. This form contains your waiver on one side and your fundraising amounts on the other side. Be sure to fill in what you've individually earned online, as well as any cash or checks. Each participant must fill one out who is walking and/or turning in donations. Click here to download a copy if you don't have one. This is what we use to determine your individual prize level!
  
  • $20 = Orange Balloon (don't get left out!!!)
  • $125 = 20th anniversary Walk MS T-shirt
  • $225 = MS Hat
  • $500 = MS "Hoodie" Sweatshirt
  • $1,000 = Embroidered MS "Hoodie" with your name / team name + 20th anniversary pin
  • $10,00 = Two Tickets to the Dinner of Champions and all expense paid trip to the Tour of Champions!
    
    
• You can still register at the walk for last minute additions or out-of-town visitors, but it slows down the line if you haven't already filled out your form.
  
  
• When you check in you will receive a "bib" which is your ticket to a free tasty breakfast and your pass for parking in any of the Gateway parking lots. Simply show your bib when you leave and your parking will be free. In addition, your bib provides a blank space to write in why or for whom you're walking!
  
  
• If you haven't already reserved a time for your team photo with Ryan here is the suggested schedule (NOTE: Any team that raised over $2,000 in 2008 can reserve a time. Call 801-424-0112). Please allow enough time as we will be crunched for time as it is and we'd like to include every team! (Note: Teams with "Team ____" use the second part of your team name. Team Shoe would be an "S".) Team photos will be to right of the stairs near the fountain.
  
  
  • Teams "A - D" 8:00am
  • Teams "E - H" 8:15am
  • Teams "I - L" 8:30am
  • Teams "M - P" 8:45am
  • Teams "Q - S" 9:00am
  • Teams "T - V" 9:15am
  • Teams "W - Z " 9:30am
    
    
• This is the biggest Walk MS event ever! We're expecting more than 3,000 people, so come early to check in and get a bite to eat.
  
  
• Keep an eye on the weather the night before. We will Walk RAIN or SHINE!!! (we're hoping shine, but mother nature may have other plans). Be prepared for typical Utah "spring".
  
  
• Have FUN. This is the most important part and hopefully the easiest part!
  
  
• Any questions, please call Ryan at 801-424-0112 or email ryan.romeike@nmss.org
  

Thank you so much everyone for doing such a great job in getting your team ready. We're getting closer by the minute to our goal and we can't thank you enough for each and every donation you bring in. You truly are the Movement...
