Money raised by 9th Annual Walk-n-Roll surpasses previous success.

On Sept 20th 2009 the Minnesota chapter of Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy held our 9th Annual Walk-n-Roll event which, compared to the last year’s cold and pouring rain, was held on a perfectly beautiful day.

Despite these tough economic times, we were able to surpass last year’s donations, raising an outstanding grand total of $24,000, with $14,000 coming from online donations which is fantastic! What a great job everyone and thank you so much for your generosity!

Check out our Top 3 Fundraising Teams:
• Team Sophia - $4,285
• Team Hennessy - $4,015
• Team Jack - $3,755

It was great to see each team with their brightly colored shirts walking and rolling with one another along the event path. Way to go teams and thank you for another great year!

So far, our Minnesota Chapter has sent in $30,000 to the National office of Families of SMA from various donations and fundraising.

SAVE THE DATE: 10th Annual Minnesota Walk-n-Roll is tentatively set for Sunday, September 12, 2010 so mark your calendars and get your teams ready!
