"Helping families and communities prevent and cope with infant and young child loss, one baby step at a time"

Walk day is just a few days away!  We’re looking forward to a great turn out!  Before the walk, we wanted to make sure that you had a few important details ahead of time:

Registration:

• *One tent and table will be designated for registration.
• *Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with the Walk starting at 9:30 a.m. You ONLY need to check-in at Registration if you haven’t turned in your team donations at previously held Bank Days.
• *At this table you can register last minute walkers, pick up a map of the walk route, turn in money and team donations, pick up your prizes (if awarded), and create Avenue of Angel signs.
• *Team Captains will be identified by a colored lei.  Please pick up a colored lei based on what you and your team are walking for: Purple=prematurity, White=infant loss, Yellow=birth defects, Green=healthy birth.  More than one color lei may be selected if you’re walking for one or more condition.  Family Team Committee members will be wearing Red leis, so if you have any questions, please look for a committee member wearing a red lei.

Family Team Tent:

• *This tent is available for all families participating in the walk.
• *At this tent, you will find changing stations, kids activities and small treats for kids.

Team Photos:

• *Photographers will be hand to capture pictures before and after the walk, and throughout the walk route.
• *Teams can be photographed  together in the area designated for team photos.  Please look for this area near the registration tent.

Mission Boards & Family Sponsor Signs:

• *Mission Boards will be placed along the walk route for all to see.
• *Mission Boards should be turned in at designated Bank Days.  If you happen to miss Bank Days, Mission Boards will be accepted up until noon on Friday at the March of Dimes Office on Westown Pkwy.
• *Feel free to stop by and take some pictures with your team and Mission Board when you see it on the route!
• *After the walk, all Mission Boards will be collected by committee members, and will be returned to an area located by the Registration tent.
• *You are responsible for collecting your Mission Board after the walk.  Any Mission Board left after the walk will be discarded.
• *Family Sponsor signs will be placed along the walk route.  If your team has a Family Team Sponsor sign, please collect them from the walk route and take them home with you to deliver to the business that sponsored your team.

After Walk Lunch:

• *There will be March of Dimes pillow for sales for $10. These pillows will come with a permanent marker so that your team can sign it as a keepsake!  All proceeds will go towards the March of Dimes.
