This popular program focuses on community and puts the FUN in fundraising!
Each Chasing Butterflies walk is hosted by local folks who know best about their community. Each event should include a short walk that is non-competitive and focuses on community. Everyone wins by participating. Before or after each walk, your host might organize games, refreshments, and fun activities which are sure to make you smile and walk away satisfied, knowing that you helped create a brighter future for thousands of people living with Turner syndrome.
Want to host a walk?
Everything you need to begin planning a Chasing Butterflies walk in your community is just one e-mail away. By thinking about where and when you might have the walk, and deciding who you can ask to help organize it with you, you will be three steps ahead in making a decision about hosting one. We have Walk Guidelines available to help you plan your walk; contact us when you are ready to move forward. We will take care of creating and managing your online registrations, ordering t-shirts and mailing you supplies, like a banner, butterfly hand fans, and buttons so you can take care of making it a special event for your community.
Want to just walk?
Current walks available for registration are here on our website under Join the Chase. Once you register for a walk of your choice, you will be prompted to set up your own personal social fundraising webpage. This will enable you to capture your story about how you, or someone you love, is affected by Turner syndrome, and share it with your friends, family, and co-workers. By explaining why this cause is so important to you, you can raise awareness and vital funds to support the Society’s life-changing programs and services. We even have a simple fundraising tip sheet that will help you get your fundraising effort underway.
