Register to participate in the Walk for Obria, a one-mile fundraising event benefitting Obria Medical Clinics Gwinnett.
Will you join us? Every church, every small group, every men's group, every women's group, every youth group, and every family is needed to walk and ask friends and family to sponsor them! Funds raised at the Walk for Obria will help us continue to meet the needs of our community and expand services. We believe every woman deserves a healthy pregnancy and every baby deserves a healthy start!
FAQs
Last year alone, we had over 4,800 patient visits. We performed 1,528 ultrasounds and 991 pregnancy tests. The funds raised at the Walk for Obria will help us continue to provide prenatal care and transform more families as we make a stand for LIFE in our community.
It's an easy and short 1-mile fun walk to celebrate the lives that will be saved and impacted by the money you have raised! Strollers are welcome at the Walk, too, so feel free to bring your littles.
This event is rain or shine. If it rains, bring an umbrella! Be sure to let your supporters know that Obria still needs their support, rain or shine.
Participants get supporters by asking! No one will support you if you fail to ask them. Many walkers are supported by co-workers, friends, family, neighbors, and local businesses. Some companies also sponsor their employees, or provide matching gifts. Every 9 out of 10 people you ask will say "Yes" so ask away! Check out the Fundraising Toolkit on the page for Walkers to get some tips!
Donations or pledges are flat amounts (not based on the distance you walk) and are tax-deductible. Your sponsors may donate one of two ways: online through your fundraising page or by check/cash, which they'll give you to and you'll pass along to us.
Participants who use online fundraising raise 3 to 4 times the amount of money than those who do not. It is safe and secure, and you don’t need to handle cash or checks. Send the link to your fundraising page (or your team fundraising page) to friends and family via text message, email, or on social media!
For offline donations via check/cash, you may turn them in to us during normal business hours at the Clinic or on the morning of the Walk when you check-in.
Each walker must register and fundraise or donate $50 to get a t-shirt. You'll select your shirt size when you register to participate in the Walk. If you have a family of walkers, make sure to register each member who wants a t-shirt so they can receive one by fundraising/donating at least $50 each. That means if you’re bringing kids who would like a t-shirt, make sure you register them, and have them ask friends, teachers, or family members to help them get to $50! *Limit one t-shirt per walker.
It's going to be a great morning! Check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m. and the walk will begin at 9:00 a.m.
