Participants Worth Their Weight in Gold
Participants who raise $100 are common. The $1,000+ group are fabulous. And then there are the megaparticipants, the ones who raise a lot of money through participation in one or more of your events.
"Blauer's dedication and commitment are an encouragement to others,Jenne Fromm, national spokeswoman for the Breast Cancer 3-Day told the Observer & Eccentric newspaper. "(Those who walked with him) always left his presence ... with a renewed sense of purpose," she said. "What being with Barry, and other walkers like him, does is make you realize just how much is possible. It makes you think, 'Gosh, if he can walk that far and raise those kinds of funds, then surely I can do this too.'"
