Walker Procedures and Walker Incentives

Walker Procedures

Signup as many people as you can, asking them for their name, address and telephone numbers.

Please print carefully. Ask the potential walkers to state a specific amount (there is no per mile amount)

Ask people other than those in church (teachers. Relatives, friends) because those in church probably have been already asked by others.

To get a free T-shirt a walker needs at least $150 in sponsorship. Make that your minimum goal.

Church Liaisons

Profile: The church liaison is the primary link between their church and Gateway. They are responsible for meeting with their pastor and seeing that the walk-a-thon is presented to the church. Then they are to help with the recruitment of walkers.

Main Task:

1. After an initial mailing by Gateway, any other items needed that can not be mailed are to be picked up and deliver to the church.

2. Meet with the pastor (if possible) and encourage him to attend as well. If he does walk, many more will be likely to walk.

3. As the pastor if he will share about the walk-a-thon, or schedule a speaker for a brief (5 minute) update and announcement.

4. As the church secretary to place the Walk-a-thon insert in the bulletin

5. Encourage 10-15 people (of all ages) to attend. Distribute the literature, possibly at a literature table in the back of the church

6. Talk to friends about walking.

7. Do a ‘creative pulpit announcement’ if possible

8. Ask to speak to the Sunday schools or youth group about the Walk

9. Remind people that they may walk two miles on another day should they be unable to make it on walk day.

10. Set a goal for themselves of $150 per walker in pledges

11. Call for extra sponsor forms or download them from www.gateway.org

12. Have a table in the back of the church for walk materials and registration.

The liaisons should do their best to inspire their walkers. The walkers need to be convinced that this is something they can do and will have fun in the process.
