SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2018 • 7AM MALL OF AMERICA FRASER.ORG/WALK
Dear Friend of Fraser, Thank you for your interest in supporting Fraser through the 2018 Fraser Walk for Autism. Fraser serves children and adults with more than 60 types of mental and physical disabilities and is Minnesota’s largest and most experienced provider of autism services. Over 6,000 Minnesota families are without quality autism treatment options near their home. To help meet the increase in demand for services, Fraser hosts the Fraser Walk for Autism to unite thousands of local families to raise support and awareness for autism. The Fraser Walk for Autism is a family–friendly event around the first level of Mall of America filled with sensory activities, mascots, games and giveaways. You can rally a team or register as an individual walker. Last year over 2,500 walkers, volunteer and event sponsors helped raised over $93,000. Your support through events like the Fraser Walk for Autism will help us sustain our current programs, and more importantly, help expand our innovative services for children, adults, and families affected by autism. The crucial funds raised through this event help bring us closer to the goal that no family should have to travel more than 35 minutes or 35 miles to receive the life changing services Fraser provides. You can help make this a reality for Minnesota families by registering for the Fraser Walk for Autism today. Whether you are a walker, volunteer, or financial supporter, Fraser is truly grateful for your involvement in the 2018 Fraser Walk for Autism. This Fraser Walk for Autism Toolkit contains useful information regarding your participation. Should you have any questions regarding the Fraser Walk for Autism, please contact me. Thank You, Rose Rosario Fraser Senior Special Events Planner [email protected] 612-798-8343 •

Teams are a fun way to encourage each other’s fundraising efforts and to meet up the day of the Walk. Teams can be as small or as large as you want. To register a team, you first want to designate a team captain. This person will be the point person for communication between team members. Once the team captain registers their team online, they can send out email templates to recruit additional team members, assign a co-captain and register any ‘secondary’ participants such as children.
