The financial success of the ASMBS Foundation’s Walk from Obesity is dependent on the success of the individual fundraiser. We encourage all of our participants to be fundraisers and reach a minimum goal of at least $100. This will help to ensure we may continue to bring this important awareness event to communities across the country, as well as fund research efforts, educate healthcare professionals and the general public, and increase access to treatments for all individuals.

Here are a few tips on how to raise $100 for your local Walk from Obesity:

  • Ask 10 friends and/or family members to donate $10 each!
  • Ask 4 Co-workers to donate $25 each!
  • Ask your place of employment to sponsor you with a $100 donation!
  • Share your personal fundraising page on your social media networks and ask all of your friends and followers to donate!
  • And much more! The possibilities are endless!

Your efforts will not go unnoticed and we want to show our appreciation for taking steps before the Walk to fundraise by offering you these great prizes:
