\n\t\tFAQs\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Why Walk for Obria?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

Last year alone, we had over 4,800 patient visits. We performed 1,528 ultrasounds and 991 pregnancy tests. The funds raised at the Walk for Obria will help us continue to provide prenatal care and transform more families as we make a stand for LIFE in our community.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How far is the Walk?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

It’s an easy and short 1-mile fun walk to celebrate the lives that will be saved and impacted by the money you have raised! Strollers are welcome at the Walk, too, so feel free to bring your littles.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What happens if it rains on the day of the Walk?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

This event is rain or shine. If it rains, bring an umbrella!\u00a0Be sure to let your supporters know that Obria still needs their support, rain or shine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How do I get supporters?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

Participants get supporters by asking! No one will support you if you fail to ask them. Many walkers are supported by co-workers, friends, family, neighbors, and local businesses. Some companies also sponsor their employees, or provide matching gifts. Every 9 out of 10 people you ask will say “Yes” so ask away! Check out the Fundraising Toolkit<\/a> on the page for Walkers\u00a0to get some tips!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How do donations work?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

Donations or pledges are flat amounts (not based on the distance you walk) and are tax-deductible. Your sponsors may donate one of two ways: online through your fundraising page or by check\/cash, which they’ll give you to and you’ll pass along to us.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Why should I use online fundraising?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

Participants who use online fundraising raise 3 to 4 times the amount of money than those who do not. It is safe and secure, and you don’t need to handle cash or checks. Send the link to your fundraising page\u00a0(or your team fundraising page) to friends and family via text message, email, or on social media!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Where do I turn in the money that is not donated online?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

For offline donations via check\/cash, you may turn them in to us during\u00a0normal business hours at the Clinic or on the morning of the Walk when you check-in.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How do I (or how does my family) get a t-shirt?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

Each walker must register and fundraise or donate $50 to get a t-shirt. You’ll select your shirt size when you register to participate in the Walk. If you have a family of walkers, make sure to register each member who wants a t-shirt so they can receive one by fundraising\/donating at least $50 each. That means if you’re bringing kids who would like a t-shirt, make sure you register them, and have them ask friends, teachers, or family members to help them get to $50! *Limit one t-shirt per walker.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What can I expect on the morning of the Walk?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t

It’s going to be a great morning! Check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m. and the walk will begin at 9:00 a.m.<\/p>\n
