I got an email with a note from Marla today about the MSABC walks this year.
Is this really true? Are some MSABC walks requiring you to pay to register to walk? We have a new location in my area this year which is offering a 5K in addition to the walk, and there is a $25 registration fee for the 5K run, but the walk is still free.
I'm bummed, because I really like the events, and the corporate participation.
Dear Consultant,
As we approach October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we will provide you with tools to help raise awareness and funds for our Help Whip Cancer® campaign, benefitting the American Cancer Society‘s breast cancer programs.
I want to make you aware of a change for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® Walks. We were recently made aware by our partners at the American Cancer Society® that a number of the Making Strides sites are introducing an individual $25 registration fee. While we continue to support the American Cancer Society® in its life-saving work, we feel that it‘s not appropriate to ask you to join us in activities that require you to pay a fee to participate. Therefore, you won‘t see us promoting the Walks in future marketing materials. Instead, we will focus on other ways to support the campaign like selling pink products and Help Whip Cancer® Fundraiser Shows.
I am proud of the tremendous participation and support you have demonstrated in these events, and we continue to believe in and support what Making Strides stands for. If you choose to participate in your local Walk, we will be happy to support you by sending you a Help Whip Cancer® hat and backpack to wear proudly at your walk.*
Thank you for your continued support of The Pampered Chef‘s charitable campaigns, and for all you do to Help Whip Cancer®
