S.A.T.S. 6TH ANNUAL WALKER-A-THON
March 1, 2012
Londonderry Mall from 8 to 9:30 a.m.

Walker-a-thon is a casual 1 or 2 kilometer walk around Londonderry Mall that raises funds to help S.A.T.S. continue to help walking older seniors receive volunteer driving support around Edmonton.

People using walkers are extra welcome but everyone is welcome - walker or not! People can walk the 1 or 2 km in the mall as individuals; walk as part of a team; be invited by family, friends or business associates to sponsor a walker, participate by volunteering their time to help register walkers and/or by helping to offer refreshments or donate. All are welcome.

Most walkers will be sponsored by themselves, co-workers, friends and family. Walkers can ask anyone, including businesses to sponsor them. All will be making a donation to the Seniors Assisted Transportation Society (S.A.T.S.) A tax receipt will be automatically given out for any support over $10.

Many companies not only sponsor walkers but also provide matching gifts for prizes. Teams can account for most of the funds raised through the Walker-a-thon as they will represent larger groups such as companies, unions, schools, associations and clubs.

The number of members in a team can range from 2 to more than 50 walkers. It's up to you! Why don't you challenge others to help you help the seniors today? And have fun. Click on the link below to download and print off a pledge sheet or contact the S.A.T.S. office to have one mailed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR SATS MEMBERS!

SATS has had to increase the price of the Volunteer Driving Ticket to $15 effective immediately! Unfortunately, SATS has had numerous cost increases over the past few years that we did not pass onto the members until funding received by SATS could no longer cover the increased costs. Existing $10 gas tickets will be honoured until no longer available.

Volunteer drivers will continue to receive $10 for any 2 hour trip or less and the remaining $5.00 paid will be applied to the administration of the program. This covers all associated costs in order to run the program; such as obtaining, scheduling and supervising volunteer drivers, along with fees associated with security clearances and abstracts.

We apologize for the required fee increase but had no option other than the inevitable.
