How Can I Get Involved?

https://acb.donorpages.com/2017ACBWalk/.
Registration is only $25. You may also register by completing a downloaded paper form or by calling the Minneapolis office at (612) 332-3242. After registering, if you wish to set up an affiliate team, you may want to get assistance with someone from the Minneapolis office using the phone listed above. When creating teams, team captains have the option of designating up to 50% of the monies raised to go back to the affiliate.
Checks should be made payable to ACB with the word “walk” in the memo, and sent to: American Council of the Blind, 6300 Shingle Creek Pkwy., Suite 195, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430.
The theme for the 2017 ACB Walk is “Let the Sparks Fly.” The sparks are already flying. At least nine teams have already been created, and some of those teams have received several donations. Please help us Let the Sparks Fly, raise at least $65,000 for ACB and its affiliates, and participate in this year’s event.
