Hi first_name_unregistered_returning_captain,

Thank you for leading team_name at last year's Best Buddies Friendship Walk. Your team, among 551 walkers in 89 teams, raised over $141,860 to celebrate inclusion and enabled Best Buddies to directly create more opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). In 2022, Best Buddies opened 17 new school chapters, served 239 Jobs program participants, and provided 144 Best Buddies State Ambassadors with leadership opportunities. 

None of this would have been possible without people like you! The 2023 Best Buddies Friendship Walk celebration will take place at Golden Gate Park on Saturday, April 22nd, starting at 8:30 am. I hope that you'll participate again this year and get your friends and family to join your team! You won't want to miss out on this special Walk! I am leading a team and recruiting my friends and family to walk with me this year; this will be my nth year participating in the Friendship Walk. I hope I'll see you there! 

If you believe in Best Buddies’ mission, register for the 2023 Friendship Walk by visiting https://www.BestBuddiesFriendshipWalk.org/sanfrancisco/register/.

Launch Week runs from Feb. 13th–17th, signaling the official start of the Friendship Walk season. You will receive daily emails from Best Buddies Friendship Walk promoting the $100 Challenge, revealing this year’s event shirt and all the fundraising incentives. All registered participants who raise $100 by midnight Feb. 17th will earn a Best Buddies prize pack! Be sure to spread the word to your team members, too. We’d love to have everyone earn their prize pack! 

Please contact me if you are not receiving the Friendship Walk emails, have any questions about the registration process, or if you'd like to share your thoughts about the Friendship Walk. As a BBFW 2023 subcommittee volunteer, I'll be your main contact for support related to the Friendship Walk. You can find a variety of additional tools, information, and ideas to help your fundraising efforts here.

We're eager to continue transforming the Bay Area in 2023, along with friends like you by our side every step of the way. Again, thank you—your support moves Best Buddies' mission forward!

In friendship,

Hi first_name_of_prospective_new_team_captain,

The Best Buddies Friendship Walk is the number one walk in the country raising awareness and funds to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Friendship Walk plays a key role in funding the Best Buddies programs dedicated to one-to-one friendships, leadership development, and integrated job opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The Friendship Walk is an amazing celebration of inclusion for individuals of all abilities!

The 2023 Best Buddies Friendship Walk celebration will take place at Golden Gate Park on Saturday, April 22nd, starting at 8:30 am. Get details about the walk and register.

This is the perfect opportunity for organization_or_company to join Best Buddies to ensure everyone has the opportunity for friendship, employment, and to have a voice of their own in the community.

I hope that you will register a organization_or_company team for this year's Best Buddies Friendship Walk. Your team will be essential to achieving our goal of raising $160,000 to celebrate inclusion and enable Best Buddies to create more opportunities for people with IDD. In 2022, Best Buddies opened 17 new school chapters, served 239 Jobs program participants, and provided 144 Best Buddies State Ambassadors with leadership opportunities. 

None of this would have been possible without support from individuals like you. ! I hope that you'll participate and get your friends and family to join your team!
