Q. Where do I find sponsors?

A. Anyone can sponsor you. Ask your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, classmates, teachers, or local businesses. Ask them personally or email them with a link to our website, www.TexasAllianceforLife.org, so they can sponsor you online. Sponsor a walker today!

I'd like to invite you to sponsor me as I participate in the 16th Annual Texas Alliance for Life Walk 2010.

To sponsor me with a one-time, tax-deductible donation, please click here: Sponsor a Walker. You can make a donation right away via credit card or simply make a pledge and choose to be billed later.

I'll be walking with hundreds of Texans from dozens of churches to promote the sanctity of innocent human life and to raise funds for life-saving programs and agencies in our community.

One hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds will support peaceful, legal efforts by Texas Alliance for Life to protect mothers and their unborn children and to promote respect for innocent human life. All donations are tax-deductible.

To join the fun and participate as a walker, click here: Walker Registration. Either way, I hope you will support this worthy cause.
