Registration
To register for a Walk in your area, visit the Walk Location page and register online through firstgiving.com or contact your local Walk Coordinator to register by mail. There is a $15 registration fee that entitles each registrant to a Walk for Farm Animals t-shirt. You must pre-register in order to guarantee that you receive a t-shirt. T-shirts will be distributed to registered walkers the day of the Walk. Pre-registration for the Walk is strongly encouraged. If you register the day of the Walk, the fee is $20 and regrettably we cannot guarantee that you will receive a t-shirt.

Donations
After you register as a walker, you can begin collecting donations, online through www.firstgiving.com/farmsanctuary, and/or in person, using our Offline Donation Form. If you have registered online, you will create a fundraising page to email to all your friends and family. This is a simple and effective way to begin raising funds. We encourage all walkers to raise a minimum of $100

If you are using the Offline Donation Form, you should include the names and addresses of all donors on the form. Be sure to write clearly. In person donations must be collected before the Walk and turned in to the Walk coordinator the day of the Walk. There is no minimum or maximum donation. We suggest asking for a minimum of $20 - which entitles the donor to a one-year Farm Sanctuary membership and a subscription to "Sanctuary," Farm Sanctuary's compassionate quarterly newsletter.

Walkers raising $100 or more are eligible for prizes so don't be shy. Every donation you receive will help save the lives of abused and neglected farm animals, and that's something to be proud of!

This year, we’ve got some great prizes.

Raise $100 and receive a Farm Sanctuary magnet.


Reach the $250 mark and get a Farm Sanctuary travel mug.

 

 

 

 If you raise $500, you’ll be entitled to a signed paperback copy of Farm
Sanctuary Co-founder and President Gene Baur’s best-selling book – Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food.

The overall highest fundraiser will receive a special Farm Sanctuary gift pack that includes a set of logo wine glasses, our popular organic hoodie pullover and our cool messenger bag, plus a Farm Sanctuary-themed scented candle by A Scent of Scandal.


Walk Time
The Walks usually take between an hour and two hours to complete. Everyone is encouraged to take as much (or as little!) time as they need to make the Walk an enjoyable experience. Contact your local coordinator to find out the specific details about the Walk in your area.

Clothing
Plan on picking up your t-shirt at the Walk and wearing it to show your support! Wear comfortable walking shoes. It is generally best to wear layers of clothing. A knapsack, hat and sunglasses are also handy items to bring on your walk.

Rain or Shine!
The traditional Walk rule is rain or shine — the Walk will only be rescheduled in the event of severe weather (tornadoes, heavy rainstorms, hurricanes). If in doubt, please contact your Walk coordinator to confirm any changes.
