How to Donate to and Share Hiking to Help Refugees

In this post I wanted to make sure everyone knows how to donate to our Hiking to Help Refugees venture.  I also want to share news about some tools that can help you to share the news of this opportunity with others.

Donations may be made on line by  using this link www.generosity.com/faith-religion-fundraising/hiking-to-help-refugees/x/16376073  You can also access this link using the "Learn More" button found at the top right of the Hiking to Help Refugees Face Book page.

You can also donate by check.  Make it out to "Calvary Road Ministry" and earmark it for "Hiking to help refugees."  Mail it to: 4100 Fulton Road, Corryton, TN  37721.

Remember that all donations are tax deductible through the nonprofit Calvary Road Ministry.  You can make a one time donation, or sponsor me at X $ per mile.  The AT is 2,181 miles long.  Our starting goal is $100,000. 

The T-shirt in the above picture has been designed using the logo developed by Brandon Lovelace.  Tony Abernathy and Ed Beam of Cherryville are working to help our cause by producing the T-shirts at a minimal cost.  It will be produced with only the colors you see in the picture.  It will be available in all sizes.  The costs are:
     * Small to X Large................$12
     * XX Large-XXX Large.......$14

To place your order, please write to Tony Abernathy at tabernathy@carolina.rr.com.  Tony would love to hear from you ASAP if you would like to order a shirt or shirts to aid you in spreading the news about our fund raiser on behalf of the suffering South Sudanese church.

I have also developed a flyer which you could share with anyone or in any venue.  If you would like to utilize this tool please write to me at drc11292@gmail.com or send a message to our Hiking to Help Refugees Face Book page and give us your email address.  We will then email you a scan of the flyer as an attachment.

On Monday, March 27, Ed, Tony and others sponsored an opportunity for David to give a presentation at the Cherryville Community Center.  They provided a meal as part of the event.  Almost $3,000 was donated by those who attended.  What a great kickoff event!  Many thanks to all those who worked so hard to prepare the food and rent the venue.

I plan to soon do the presentation again and have a video made of it.  I will then post it to the You Tube account I have set up.  Those who attended last Monday's presentation said it really helped them to hear me tell the story which forms the background to this venture.  I will alert you once it is posted to You Tube.  Please also feel free to use it as a tool for sharing about Hiking to Help Refugees.
