Groups To Assist With Walkathon

Morganton NC

Description

We are seeking people and groups to volunteer to participate in our walkathon to benefit Medical Patient Modesty, a non-profit organization that works to help educate patients and their families about how to have maximum modesty for procedures; how to stand up for their rights requesting a same-gender medical team for intimate procedures; and how to prevent sexual abuse by medical professionals. We also work to educate medical professionals on how to be more sensitive to patient modesty. This is a unique walkathon since the walkathon can be done any time between Saturday, October 2nd – Saturday, November 20th. Each group is asked to set up a date, time, and location for their walkathon. Everyone is asked to walk at least 2 miles. There will be a link to the group on 99Pledges.com. Every participant in that group is asked to share their link on Facebook, Twitter, and through Email with family members, friends, businesses, etc. Every participant is encouraged to set their goal to at least $2,000. We will give rewards to individuals who raise a certain amount. It is our goal to raise $150,000 before the end of this year. See more information about awards that will be given to walkers at http://patientmodesty.org/walkathon.asp. If you are interested in coordinating a walkathon for your area, please contact us with your name, email address, and how you feel about patient modesty.
