man you guys are busy! we are enjoying our nice summer break
Going to a con this weekend.. first in a few months.

You can say that again. Good luck with all of your events.

What do you guys do for your wlaks and stuff. i've been wating to go to one with the group and just wanted to know how you guys went about it.

Really we just go to the walk website and sign up as a team like anyone else does and get donations from friends. We also usually attend the art walk here in Phoenix and set up a fundraising booth. At the Booksman's Store event's well be getting donations as well.

Since we're certainly more unique than most walk teams we always get in touch with the walk directors to let them know we're going to be there and if we can help in any other way. They are usually always excited to get any help they can which is how we started attending events like Diabetes Expo and Awareness Days at the ballpark to help promote them. The walks are how we started out and a great way to get involved with the community. Even last weekend at the ballpark 80's night, people were telling us they had seen us before at a charity walk. It certainly get's you out in the public eye. The more you do the more recognized you will get and people will spread the word about you and what you do. Almost all of our events we get from a word of mouth recommendation and the walks we attend now annually.

I just realized I hadn't updated this in awhile, got to busy with the zombie walk preparations. Here is our schedule as of now. We just added the screening and a couple of charity Haunted House appearances and yes, we are doing three charity walks in one day on the 17th. We are splitting the team up for the two in the morning and rejoining for the evening walk. We're still finishing up details for our toy drive in December.
