Registration Procedures
All participants must check in at the registration area, even if you have
pre-registered on the website.
If you have donations with you, turn them in at the Registration Area as soon as you arrive. Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. and you can turn in donations (please convert cash into checks) and get your free VisionWalk T-Shirt if you raised $100 or more.
Walk Route
Beginning under the Pavilion - look for the yellow and blue VisionWalk balloons. The route will start heading south on Clinton and will be clearly marked. You will finish back at the Pavilion where you can enjoy the festivities of Germanfest.
Remember, this event will take place RAIN or SHINE.
Activities
This is a family-friendly event. We will have various activities for children of all ages, including face painting, tattoos and much more! Please bring your entire family to join in on the fun and excitement.
We will also have plenty of snacks and refreshments.
Team Spirit
Create bright and colorful team T-shirts so your group can find you at Headwaters Park. There will be hundreds of walkers at the site so plan ahead by designating a meeting spot. You should also have a big Team Banner decorated with your Team's name on it so you can walk loud and proud letting everyone know everyone who your are!
VisionWalk is a completely FREE event! We do not require a pledge per mile or entrance fee. While participants are under no obligation to donate to FFB, we do suggest a minimum donation goal of $100 per walker.
There is no age requirement. When you navigate through the registration process you will have to check a box to electronically sign a waiver.
In addition, there is no required size to form a Team. Teams can be comprised of 2 members to 2,000. We welcome Teams of all shapes and sizes!
Offline Donations
To expedite the Registration process on Walk Day, please send your offline donations to the FFB Office prior to the Walk. Checks should be made payable to "Foundation Fighting Blindness" and please note in the "memo" section of your check, the name of the Team or Walker you would like your donation credited toward and your Walk city.
