What is a Pack?

When registering for the Walk for the Animals you can participate as an individual walker or as part of a Pack (team). If you have a few friends, co-workers or family members that want to join you on Walk day by raising funds themselves, this is a great way to get everyone involved.

A Pack is made up of 2 or more people, who together, raise a minimum of $1,500 by February 19, 2013. The more people who join your Pack the easier it will be to raise funds. Not to mention you get some great perks!

Steps to forming a Pack:

Step 1:  

Select your Pack Leader. This person's first responsibility will be to create your Pack fundraising page. They will send motivational emails out to the group, keep track of the funds that are raised and be the point person for questions.

Step 2:

Let's assume you are the Pack Leader. You will need to register for the Walk and select Create a Pack and then type in your Pack name. Once you Pack page is created you can invite others to join your Pack by emailing them the link to you page. You will want your other Pack members to register and create their own personal fundraising page.

Step 3:

Now it's time to do some fundraising. The easiest first step is to send your personal fundraising page out to all your friends, family, co-workers, etc... and ask them to make a donation to your page. Your next step as Pack Leader is to gather your Pack and come up with some fundraisers you can do such as a car wash, bake sale, garage sale, dog walks, pet sitting, etc...

Step 4:

Now that you have spent the past few months raising money you'll want to gather your Pack's money (any check and cash that hasn't been turned in through the online system). As Pack Leader you will be required to come to one of the three days of Pack Pre-Registration at the shelter. This will take between 15-30 minutes depending on how many pack members you have and how much money you are turning in that day. At Pack Pre-Registration you will turn in an official roster of Pack members, select your photo time and verify your Pack members t-shirt sizes and levels they have reached to date.

Step 5:

As Pack Leader you will come back to the shelter the Wednesday or Thursday before the Walk for Pack Goodie Pick-Up. Pre-packed boxes will be waiting for you with all your goodie bags, t-shirts that have been earned (remember each individual must raise $150 to receive a t-shirt and dog bandana), special Pack goodie item, goodie coupons and Pack photo reminder.

Step 6:

Enjoy Walk day! You'll pose for your Pack photo, enjoy live music and who knows you may even be announced as one of our top 3 packs!
