Snail-mail Buddy Walk Registration
This is the form to use if you would rather register for the Buddy Walk using the good 'ol envelope-stamp-and-mailbox strategy.
September 29th is THE Deadline for...
| ✔ Creating a Buddy Walk Team Online* |
| ✔ Registering for the Buddy Walk Online* |
| ✔ Top Buddy Walk Team Donor |
| ✔ Ordering Buddy Walk T-shirts |
|
✔ Nominations for Awards academic staff, health care professionals, service providers, and outstanding citizens |
* You may still create a Buddy Walk team or register for the Buddy Walk in person on the day of the Buddy Walk event. We gladly accept all donations any day of the year!
» A Note About Team Donation Deadlines:
Buddy Walk teams with highest rankings are determined based on team donation totals as of September 29th.
We encourage everyone to continue donating toward your favorite Buddy Walk team(s) even after this September 29th cut-off date, as your donations will still increase team donation totals and help the team reach their donation goal. Team donations will continue to be accepted and counted in this manner up until and including the day of the Buddy Walk event (October 17th).
However, any team donations received AFTER October 17th will no longer be applied toward a Buddy Walk team, and instead be placed in our General Fund.
