| 2nd Annual Regional Walk for Autism Speaks |
Dear Health Occupations Teachers:
Great news! We have finalized the plans for the 2nd Annual Regional Walk for Autism Speaks!
Who: All regional high schools and organizations What: 2nd Annual Regional Walk for Autism Speaks When: Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008, from 9:30 a.m.– 11 a.m. (Registration begins @ 9:00) Where: A. C. Reynolds High School track in Asheville Why: To raise money and awareness for individuals affected with autism
The suggested length of the walk will be 3 miles (or 12 laps around the track). There will be a minimum suggested donation of $6 per person to participate, but each participant is encouraged to raise as much money to donate as possible. The school that raises the most funds collectively will win an award! Please encourage your students to dress in layers, preferably with a shirt or sweatshirt that displays your school's name.
Please bring your school's donations to the registration table at the walk. Checks should be paid to the order of "Autism Speaks." All donations will be credited to your school and will be sent to Autism Speaks, a nonprofit organization.
We encourage you to RSVP by Friday, Oct. 24, with the number of participants you expect to attend from your school as well as your school's donation goal. Please remember that the school that turns in the most donations on the day of the walk will be given an award.
So let's all come out to have fun and support HOSA's national service project, as well as a great cause. Light breakfast items, juices, and coffee will be provided at no cost.
Please encourage other CTSO organizations and clubs at your school to participate.
RSVP: aking91@gmail.com or (828) 775-4774. Thank you. If you have any questions, please contact me. Directions are attached.
Sincerely,
Adam King Vice President of NC-HOSA President of WNC-HOSA President of ACRHS-HOSA
