 QUESTIONS?
What is Metro Women’s Center?
Metro Women’s Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit pregnancy
resource center in Crystal, MN. We exist to educate the
community about pregnancy alternatives so life-affirming
decisions can be made concerning the outcomes of
pregnancies. Since 1990 MWC has been providing a
compassionate Christian response to the needs of men and
women confronted with unplanned pregnancies. For more
information visit www.MetroWomensCenter.org.
Why have an Amazing Grace Walk?
Your support will provide shelter for pregnant women!
Through your efforts to raise funds by asking your friends,
family, and co-workers, you can help MWC establish the
Amazing Grace Home — a safe, Christ-centered home
for pregnant women in Minnesota. $242,000 has been
on-line. Through the FirstGiving system, walkers can easily create
raised towards our goal of $400,000.
How far do I have to walk?
The walk is a short one-mile, family-fun stroll.
You will be asking individuals to sponsor you for
your participation in the event instead of
sponsorships on a per-mile basis. Participants may
go further if they are so inclined!
Do I have to collect my sponsors’
pledges myself?
Yes, we ask you to collect the pledges at the time you request
individuals to sponsor you. At registration, on the day of the
walk, please turn in your pledge forms and any money you
have collected. Please make sure the address section is
complete for each of your sponsors so we can thank them for
their support. If you choose to use the on-line fundraising
system, your sponsors will be able to contribute on-line.
How do I raise pledges?
Commit to asking one person each day. Use email, fax, social
networking systems, and our on-line fundraising system.
Contact out-of-town friends and family, post your pledge form
at work, or connect with people in your church. Set a personal
goal of $150 to earn an Amazing Grace Walk T-shirt or raise
$300 and also earn a summer weight Hoodie sweatshirt.
What if I can’t be there the day of the walk?
No problem! You can walk on your own in your favorite park
or indoor space and mail your sponsor form and pledges to our
Crystal office by May 14th.
ON-LINE FUNDRAISING
Eliminate the paper sponsor form and collect all your pledges
their own webpages and invite sponsors to pledge on-line. Each
walker will have the ability to upload a picture and add his/her fund-
raising goal and a personalized message. Walkers can then email
their webpage directly to their friends, family, and co-workers.
Sponsors make their pledges directly through the webpage and can
pay immediately. Walkers will also be able to send email reminders
directly from the on-line system.

What if it rains?
We will walk rain or shine.
