Registration Procedures
On Walk Day, the first thing you will want to do is turn in your money at the Registration Area.  Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. and you can turn in donations (please convert cash into checks) and get your free VisonWalk T-Shirt if you raised $100 or more.  Remember, this event will take place RAIN or SHINE.

Walk Route The walk will start at the small amphitheatre on Brush Creek where we will have our tents set up.  It will go across the parking lot of Kauffman Memorial Gardens to the Kauffman Conference Center property accross Rockhill Road to the path that goes around the lake once, then through Kauffman Legacy Park toward Troost, loop around the lake once more, and then return on the path west along Brush Creek to our tent area.  Click here for a map of the route. 

Team Spirit
Create bright and colorful Team T-shirts so your group can find you at the walk site.  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 you 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.

In addition, we advise you do not send cash through the mail.  Please convert all cash to checks or money orders.  Thank you!
