How to Promote the Walk for Life at Your Church

The Texas Alliance for Life Walk for Life will be on Saturday, June 9, 2018. However, the most important part of the Walk is promotion at your church. Last year 155 walkers at 45 churches raised $70,000 in pledges, more than $450 per walker.

The goal of the 2018 Walk for Life is to raise $100,000 in pledges by recruiting 7-8 sponsored walkers per church. Recruiting walkers at your church is critical to our success.

Here are 8 ways you can promote the Walk for Life

  1. Register as a Walker at www.texasallianceforlife.org, and set up a personalized Web page. Promote it on Facebook, and send emails to your family and friends. That is an easy way to get pledges for yourself.
  2. Ask your pastor or deacon to be a Walker. Help him register.
  3. Request approval from your pastor or church administrator to promote the Walk at your church.
  4. Request approval for bulletin or pulpit announcements promoting the Walk (1 to 4 weeks prior to Saturday, June 9).
  5. Request approval to set up an information table with the “Poster Board” to sign up Walkers after church services.
  6. Pass out Walk brochures at the exit doors as people leave the church services.
  7. Place Walk posters in the information center, at kiosks, or on bulletin boards.
  8. Email your Parish admin the Banner Ad, or Facebook meme, to promote on the Church’s website or Facebook page.
