Way to go teams and walkers!

We're just amazed at the huge increase in donations from corporate sponsors, individual walkers, and teams. We're currently at $10,062! Our goal is $65,000, and we're already 15% there! Way to go everyone! With the way things are going, we want to take a quick moment to talk about donations. Fundraising is certainly intimidating. It's a hard time for everyone right now, so it's especially difficult to ask someone for a donation. However, we know what we're fighting for. We're working to prevent drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking. Community support of all kinds is essential for our success in accomplishing our goals. As for the Walk the MADD event, the donation process is incredibly simple, as outlined below.

1. Go to the Walk Like MADD Sacramento website.

2. Click on the red "Donate Now" button on the right side of the page.

3. You have three options here. You can donate directly to a Walk participant by entering their first and last name into the search fields. You can click on the "Search for a team" option, and enter the team name. You can also donate directly by clicking the ". . .or give directly" link under the search boxes. Keep in mind that you don't need to enter a search term if you don't know it. You can leave the fields blank and click "Search", and a list of all participants will be generated.

4. From there, you'll have three pages to complete. The first page of the process is the gift information page, where you either select a pre-designated gift amount or enter any amount in the provided field and have the option to enter an employer name, a recognition name and a note.

The following two pages are for entering your financial information and previewing your gift.

It's a very simple process, and it's such a huge show of support for MADD and the Walk. Next week, we'll talk about team forming. Have a great weekend!
