2012 St. Jude Give Thanks Walk Details!

Here is a message from St. Jude:

 

Tri Delta alumnae member,

The St. Jude Give thanks. Walk is just days away - where will you be on November 17?

Tri Delta members and teams have currently raised over $60,000 for the kids at St. Jude - but we need your help to reach our goal of $125,000 in celebration of Tri Delta's upcoming 125th anniversary. There's still time for you to get on the leader board and help us reach our fundraising goal.

Can't participate on November 17? Join our team HERE and raise donations/make one of your own!

Participating on a team? Ask three more people if they can support you. Every donation will help!

Want some helpful fundraising tips? Check out this great video.

Every walker will help too! It's not too late to sign up or invite your friends and family to be a part of our Tri Delta family for the day.

Thank you all for supporting this great cause. Hope to see you on November 17.

We also have an adorable T-shirt that will be for sale at our tent the morning of the walk! If you did not pre-order one to wear the day of, this will be your chance to pick one up!

 

 

We hope to see you there! Look for our banner and join us as we walk as a team for St. Jude!
