| Join the Tumamoc Hill-a-thon in March
Want to get (or stay) in shape and help Kore Press meet a financial challenge in March? You'll have 31 days starting next Monday, March 1, to do so by summiting as many times as you can. Each climber's challenge will be to raise $200 in sponsorship for walking Tumamoc Hill. My goal is to walk to the summit 20 times (covering 60+ miles), and to ask 10 friends to pledge $1/climb ($20/max/person). Will you join me? We can strengthen our legs, hearts and lungs and help Kore Press mentor the next generation of women writers, publish books, and stimulate civic dialog with thought-provoking theater! FAQs: How do I sign-up? Send me (Lisa) an e-mail. You will in turn receive a registration form to sign, a sponsor sheet, and instructions for walking the hill (hours of operation, rules of the trail, etc). How far will I walk? The hill is 3.13 miles out and back, and gets a little steep at the top. Set a goal for yourself that is high enough to be challenging within a timeframe that is doable. You have the whole month to reach your goal. How do I find sponsors? Ask your friends, family, colleagues, teachers, neighbors! Those who want to see you succeed in reaching your goals. Figure out how many times you want to walk and see how many sponsors you'll need to reach the $200 mark. People could sponsor you by the mile, by the number of climbs, or for the whole effort. If you make the amount you ask for accessible, then getting sponsorships will be easier (ie, 20 miles at $1/mile, you'll need 10 sponsors; 10 climbs at $2/climb you'll need 10 sponsors; or, maybe you'll find 2 sponsors to pledge $100 ea for your whole challenge, whatever it may be. Aim high!). Can I share the challenge? You bet! Make a team and work together to meet your physical and fundraising goals (ie, 2 walkers can raise $100 each in sponsorships, or 4 walkers can raise $50/each, etc). Set your goal/s, make your plan to meet them, then let your sponsors know what you aim to do and exactly how they can help. All WALKERS and SPONSORS will be recognized on the Kore Press website. You can follow our walkers and post your own thoughts on the Hill-a-thon blog. Walking schedules/goals will be posted as well so fans can cheer us on! Questions? contact lisa@korepress.org. Thank you, climb on, and hope to see you on the Hill! --Lisa Bowden Become a sponsor! Click on button below to donate.
