3 New for this Year NO REGISTRATION AT JACKSON PARK A fantastic new website has been created this year for both registration and fundraising! All walkers and team captains can now register and fundraise from a single site. Check out the Hunger Walk web page at: chicagosfoodbank.org/hungerwalk Event entry will be quicker and easier this year! We heard your feedback from the 2016 Hunger Walk...this year there will be no lines to register or checkin you will simply walk through the large WELCOME ENTRANCE located at the south east corner of Jackson Park. Prior to the event, each participant will receive a walker bib/entry ticket bibtix and a 2017 event t-shirt, which will be available to every agency during the first week of September. These bibtix will allow all event participants to be counted without the need to be scanned or to wait in any lines. Participants simply attach their bibtix number on the front of their shirt and walk through the large WELCOME ENTRANCE. (Site map with the WELCOME ENTRANCE location is on page 16). 32 ND HUNGER WALK SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2017 JACKSON PARK HUNGER WALK OPENS 7:00 a.m. STEPS OFF 8:30 a.m Follow these easy steps: 1.

Please note: The counting system will only count one bibtix per person and this bibtix must be worn on the front of your shirt to be counted. More than one bibtix worn or carried by the same individual will disqualify any credits for their agency. 5. Enjoy the Hunger Walk!

More information to follow. WE WILL NOT have any t-shirts available at Jackson Park this year. There is NO event registration at Jackson Park. You MUST pre-register this year. Trolley transportation service will be offered to transport walkers who require assistance (ADA) between the bus drop-off area and the event site. These trolleys will run between 6:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. For those in need: We reserved a limited number of handicapped parking spaces in the main lot, located at Hayes and Lake Shore Drive (northwest corner lot): first come, first served. Please display handicapped parking pass. The walking course layout has been adjusted to ensure no cross-traffic between walkers who have started and participants still arriving to the event. We have a volunteer crew who will be walking the course the day before the walk as well as the morning of the walk to ensure the course is free of debris and is easy to navigate. Please remember that the course is a public outdoor walk way. We will do everything we can to make the course as smooth as possible.

11 Thanking Donors Thanking donors The thank you letter is a critical step in the fundraising cycle. By expressing your agency s gratitude for a gift, you are sending a message that you value and appreciate the donation and that you will put it to good use. Donors who feel appreciated are more likely to give again and become regular supporters of your program. Feel free to use the thank you letter template available in the s section. Thank you letters do not have to be fancy. They can be handwritten or typed on a computer. There are, however, some fundamentals you should follow: Send the thank you letter as soon as possible after a gift is made. Include the date the letter is mailed. Include the name of your agency and the address and phone number in your thank you letter. Tell the donor what his or her donation will make possible. Acknowledge any special requests. If, for instance, a donor says that he wants his gift to be anonymous, tell him in the letter that you will honor his request. If possible, personally sign each thank you letter.
