VisionWalk is a completely FREE event!
We do not require a pledge per mile or entrance fee. While participants
are under no obligation to FFB, we do suggest a minimum donation 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!
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES:
All participants, please check in at the Registration Tent, even if you have pre-registered on the website.
If you have donations with you, please turn them in at the Registration Tent as soon as you arrive. Our great volunteers will help you fill out a registration form and mark down your donation collection. **Please convert all cash into checks before arriving at the Walk.
Everyone who raises $100 or more will receive an official 2012 VisionWalk T-Shirt. We will have shirts available in sizes small through 2XL. The shirts are available on a first-come, first-served basis for sizes. Please stop by the T-Shirt Tent early in the day to get your choice of size! New for 2012 - the VisionWalk T-Shirts are now a bright blue!
WALK ROUTE:
We'll
follow a well-marked 1.8 mile loop around Central Park. Route
Monitors in yellow t-shirts will be standing by to point you in the right direction and to
cheer you on!
Runners and Walkers are both welcome
although we will not be timing the VisionWalk as a race. Strollers,
dogs, and bikes are all welcome!
Remember, this event will take place RAIN or SHINE!
ACTIVITIES:
VisionWalk is
a family friendly event. We will have many activities for children of
all ages including face painting, a bounce house, and much, much more!
Please bring your entire family to join in on the fun and excitement.
We will also have plenty of snacks and refreshments - including a light post-Walk lunch!
TEAM SPIRIT:
We've got spirit - yes we do! We've got spirit - how about you?!
Team T-shirts, banners, signs, bandanas; the sky's the limit for how
you can show your team spirit and stand out as much as possible at the
Walk. There will be a Team Spirit Contest with the winners selected at
the Walk. Are you going to be the winning team?!
Remember to get your official Team Picture taken by our photographer!
