Where is a good place to tell my family team to meet? Wherever is convenient for you - a suggestion would be the Family Team tent.

How do I get a T-shirt? Participants who raise $200 or more will receive a t-shirt voucher upon registration. The voucher can be redeemed for a t-shirt inside the KC Live block at the T-shirt tent.
Where can I find water? There will be tubs filled with water bottles throughout the Power & Light District.
Where does the walk start? The walk will begin at the intersection of Walnut & East Truman Road.
How long is the walk? The walk will be 1 or 3 miles. Your choice! Both walks begin at the same location.

Extreme Home Makeover THIS Sunday!
I love this show to begin with, but I will be sure to catch it this week! On Sunday, March 1st the Emmy Award winning ABC-TV program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, will build a new home for March of Dimes volunteers, the Augustin Family of Keller, Texas. The family was selected because Amber and Peter Augustin’s son, Lane, was born extremely premature in 2004. They are dedicated to volunteering for the March of Dimes and helping other families with premature babies. Hundreds of March of Dimes volunteers and staff helped demolish and rebuild the Augustins’ home. Fort Worth expects to have 1500 people watching the broadcast together and this will act as a kickoff/sign-up event for March for Babies.I'd love to hear what you think about it after the show... I'm anxious to see it!

T-shirts
I have already been getting several requests for information on t-shirts. Here's the low-down...
EA Graphics is the official t-shirt supplier for March for Babies. This year, in addition to the regular Family Team Merchandise, they have also added templates where the t-shirts can be even more personalized.
Some teams choose to make their own t-shirts by making iron-ons or by ordering them either locally or on-line through various printing suppliers. Yes you are able to use the March for Babies logo on your shirts! This logo can be downloaded by clicking the "Spread the Word" button under the "Keys to Fundraising Success" heading on your personal March for Babies page.
Please remeber to RSVP to the rally if you haven't already, it will be a great time!
