WE NEED SOME HELP, VOLUNTEERS WELCOME
We have started our Pennies for PKD Campaign and we need help to reach our goal.
We are seeking Pennies for PKD Organizers/Chairpersons in every state (Town, City, School, Businesses, etc), and worldwide to organize a campaign and drive for our Pennies for PKD in your local community or school. This initial campaign will run from February 1 ,2010 through Sept 24,2010. This campaign will run up to and in conjunction with the National Walk for PKD which is in September throughout the United States.
If you are interested in becoming a Pennies for PKD Organizer/Chairperson, just email or message any Administrator. Thank you for your help!!
Any "Pennies for PKD" member can be an organizer. All that is required as an organizer is to commit to the Campaign and encourage as many people as you can to participate in your school or community and help us reach our goal of raising awareness and funds. Feel free to recruit your own volunteers/committee for your own group, as you will need a hand!!
This campaign will mostly consist of the placement of PKD Donation Boxes in businesses, schools, restaurants, etc. By doing this, we will be accomplishing 2 goals, and they are to raise awareness and funds for PKD.
