Lifewalk FAQs

Do I need to collect all of my pledges prior to Life Walk?

We would prefer that you collect all of your pledges prior to the day of the walk. This saves us both time and money, and allows us to most effectively use the money that is raised from this event. We do understand that there may be some pledges left uncollected by the event. If this is the case a letter will be sent to the walker asking them to collect their remaining pledges. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we feel it is the only financially responsible solution to managing uncollected pledges.

Do you need to collect a certain amount in pledges to participate in Life Walk?

No, we would like to welcome everyone to this event, even those who are able to collect very little or nothing in pledges. While this is a major fundraiser for the organization, and all the money raised is used to stop abortions and help women get their lives back together, it is also an event to show support for the work we are doing in the community. The opportunity for us to walk together, as a group dedicated to the pro-life movement, has the potential to make a great impact on the community.

Are pets and small children welcome?

This is a family event. All children are welcome, regardless of their age, and pets that have been well socialized are also welcome. Please remember that this event will be held at a city park and the law states that pets must be on leashes at all times.

How long is the walk?

Since there will be the option to walk, run, or bike this year, the length for each trail will be different. We are however expecting the actual walk portion of the event to not take more than an hour.

Who’s invited?

Everyone! This is a great opportunity to introduce friends and family to Alpha. There will also be fun and games for the kids, a praise and worship band in the morning, and lots of food. Bring as many people as you can.

Will everyone who pledges receive a receipt?

Typically for events such as this, our policy is that any donations of $10 or more will be sent a receipt. If an individual pledges less than $10 and would still like a receipt, please write a note on the pledge form indicating this.

How many walkers can use a pledge form?

Each walker who collects pledges must use a separate form, even if they are part of a family walking.

How would I receive another pledge form if I fill mine or loose it?

You can either contact our office by calling 616-742-0242 and we will send you one, or you can download one.
