Fundraising Opportunities: $40 for 40 in 2013!
Horizons in Hemophilia, January 2013
By Vic McCarty, Director of Development
Hemophilia of Georgia is proud to be celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2013! HoG is also honored to have the generous support and contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, organizations and volunteers throughout the past 40 years. Support of HoG is critical to the funding of various programs and services offered to the bleeding disorders community of Georgia.
As HoG celebrates 40 successful years in 2013, we ask that everyone consider ways in which your support today can make a difference in the lives of people affected by bleeding disorders for 40 more years! We invite you to donate $40 in honor of HoG’s 40 years of service. Making a contribution of $1 for each year that HoG has been providing programs and services to the bleeding disorder community of Georgia demonstrates your personal support and commitment to HoG.
Of course there are also many other ways in which you could support HoG! In 2013, we will host three Trot to Clot Walk and Run events throughout Georgia. These events raise money for Camp Wannaklot, the only residential summer camp for children in Georgia living with an inherited bleeding disorder. More than 150 kids and teens who have bleeding disorders will attend Camp Wannaklot in July 2013.
Please join us at one of these Trot to Clot events:
• Saturday, April 20, 2013 at Stone Mountain Park in Stone Mountain.
• Saturday, May 4, 2013, at Savannah Rapids River Park in Augusta.
• Saturday, June 1, 2013, at Rotary Park in Columbus.
Registration for the Trot to Clot Walk and Run events will be available beginning January 22, 2013 through active.com or by visiting the HoG website at www.hog.org/trot.
But there’s more! Especially for the runners! In addition to the HoG-sponsored Trot to Clot events in 2013, there are two additional running events coordinated by people who are friends and family members of Hemophilia of Georgia. On Saturday February 9, 2013 Rehabilitation Services of Tifton, Inc. will host the 16th annual Sweetheart Run in Tifton. Proceeds from this event will benefit Camp Wannaklot 2013. On Saturday, February 23, 2013 the Dawson Forest Trail Half Marathon will raise funds for the gene therapy clinical trials funded by Hemophilia for Georgia. It is our hope that this research may one day lead to a cure for hemophilia.
As you can tell, there are many opportunities to support HoG in 2013! To learn more, contact Vic McCarty, Director of Development at vamccarty@hog.org or 770-518-8272.
