What if I just want to give?: You can sponsor someone you know who is signed up (choose ‘Give’ and then search for the walker), sponsor yourself as a Walker by signing yourself up online, donate here, or send a check (payable to ‘Walk For Life’) to 1910 East Bay Drive, Largo, FL 33771.
How far is the Walk?: The Walk this year will be virtual. A “virtual” Walk For Life allows you the convenience to walk in a place of your own choice…at home, around your block, etc. (anytime, anyplace), however far you want to walk! If you cannot walk, we still encourage you to participate. No matter how you choose to participate, you can help save a life by raising pledges, or by donating here. You can sign-up online or get sponsors by using your handwritten pledge form.

What if I can’t walk on that day?: If you can’t walk on Walk Day (May 9), no problem! You can walk here, there, anytime, anywhere – it still counts! Walk around your block, push a baby stroller with a friend, go roller-skating for life, walk to your mailbox 10 times… it all counts! Then just email, mail or fax your completed pledge forms to New Life Solutions, 1910 East Bay Dr., Largo, FL 33771. You can even still earn prizes!; If you’re including any collected money, please do not send cash or change through the mail. Please convert it into a check made payable to Walk For Life to send it safely (1910 East Bay Dr, Largo, FL, 33771). Thank you!
How do I get sponsors?: The best way to get sponsors is to simply ask everyone you know… family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and even people you know out of town! When you ask “Will you sponsor me as I Walk For Life?” 9 out of 10 people will say “yes”. If you are registered online, you can share your personal fundraising page in texts, emails, and on social media! Use social media to your advantage! Share our posts and pictures on Facebook, retweet our tweets, and post your own photos and tag us (@iwalkforlife for Instagram or Twitter and @Walk For Life: New Life Solutions on Facebook) to spread the word! If you need more hard copy pledge forms, you can download them here and print them at home!
Is it a per-mile pledge?: All pledges are “flat” amounts; meaning the donation or pledge offered is the total amount. There is no per-mile fee or cost; and there is no fee to sign up or minimum to raise in order to walk either. All donations/pledges are tax deductible!
Do I have to collect the money?: You DO NOT have to collect the money. When your sponsor prints their name and address on your pledge form and selects an amount they would like to sponsor you at, the information is collected into a main database and then New Life Solutions will send out a reminder pledge invoice to the sponsor’s address. They can return their donation with the invoice and it’s just that easy! All you have to do is turn in your pledge form (properly marked either paid or pledged), and we’ll do the rest! …OR, your sponsors can pay online at your own personal fundraising page that you’ve created through this site. If you DO choose to collect your pledges, or if someone wants to hand you their donation, please hang on to it and mail it in with your pledge form to us at 1910 East Bay Drive, Largo, FL 33771.
Can I walk with a friend?: Please include friends and family (while respecting social distance guidelines)! In fact, encourage them to sign-up with you to help save lives! If one can do well, then TWO CAN do AMAZING! The Walk is always better with someone you know – then you’ll both be saving lives! You can all sign-up and start a team and try to raise enough pledges to help save a baby together! It takes ~$1,500 to help save one baby.
Do I have to belong to a Church group or Team?: You do not need to belong to a church group or team. We want everyone to be able to participate and there is absolutely no set requirement, other than a heart to save babies and change lives! You can sign-up here!
Where can I get more pledge sheets if I run out?: If you are unable to get more forms from your church, you can e-mail us at walk@newlifesolutions.org, or you can download & print a copy from this site under resources or by clicking here!
Can I register online and also raise funds and post pledges both online & offline?: Yes, you can do both! Signing up online is simple and can be completed HERE! If you choose to fill out a handwritten pledge form, mail/e-mail/fax that to us and let us know that you also raised money online so we can combine all your pledges together!
How do I print my online sponsors?: The Sponsor List button in your Sponsors tab will give you a PDF version of your list of sponsors that appears on your FundEasy page. You can print this list to use for collecting pledges or turn in to your beneficiary at the end of the event. You must be logged into your FundEasy page to see this option. For more information, see instructions on printing your sponsor list here.
Can I buy one of the Walk For Life prizes?: Our prizes are offered as an incentive to raise pledges – they can not be bought (T-shirts included). Anyone who is interested in a prize can “self-sponsor” themselves to earn the prize. Example: The Walk For Life shirt is a $250 prize level, sponsoring yourself for $250 would earn you an awesome shirt! Check out this year’s prizes here!
Where are the Walk locations?: The Walk this year will be virtual. A “virtual” Walk For Life allows you the convenience to walk in a place of your own choice…at home, around your block, etc. (any time, any place), however far you want to walk!
