Walk T-shirts are given with a $50.00 donation and with an individual donation of $500.00 or more a Visa gift card is awarded.
Teams can earn pre-made signs that they can proudly carry at the walk, teams of 8 people or more can also get a pre-packaged lunch, which will be ready and waiting for them when their team finishes the walk. Picnic tables, scattered about the walk site, invite families to stay, eat, mingle and enjoy the live music. Come out to meet Greg-T from Z-100, have team pictures taken, and visit the sponsor booths for great give-a-ways, all of which make the Walk-Along for Lupus a fun filled family day and not just a fundraiser.
