Two Trot to Clot Fundraising Events this Spring
Horizons in Hemophilia, March 2011
By Vic McCarty, Director of Development
Hemophilia of Georgia will host the Trot to Clot Walk on Saturday April 16, 2011 at East Cobb Park in Marietta, Georgia and the Trot to Clot Walk/Run on May 21, 2011 at Stone Mountain Park. These events will raise money to fund programs and activities for people who have hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease, and other inherited bleeding disorders. Hemophilia of Georgia hopes to raise $40,000 through the Trot to Clot fundraisers.
The walks are non-competitive, fun events for people of all fitness levels. Prizes will be awarded to the top two individual fundraisers for each walk. The Trot to Clot Run is a 5K run around the base of Stone Mountain. Prizes will be awarded to the top finishing male and female runners.
There are several opportunities for companies to support the Trot to Clot Walk and Walk/Run by becoming Corporate Sponsors. These companies will gain valuable recognition among the community, demonstrate their dedication to corporate philanthropy, and help provide much-needed funds. Information about corporate sponsorship levels and benefits is available at www.hog.org/trot.
Individuals who would like to create a team for the walk, join an existing team, or register as individual walkers or runners should register at www.hog.org/trot. The registration fee is $25 per person and each walker or runner who raises at least $100 will receive a Trot to Clot T-shirt. People who are unable to participate in the walk or walk/run are encouraged to make a donation to support Hemophilia of Georgia.
