REGISTRATION

While there is no registration fee, we encourage all registered walkers to raise funds on behalf of the Walk. Remember, 100% of donations go to research.

Go to the Registration booth if you need to do any of the following: 

• Register for the Walk (if you have not done so online or by mail).
• Pick up your Unity Walk T-shirt (if eligible).
• Registered Walkers who donate or fundraise $100 by the day of the Walk and are present at the Walk will receive a T-shirt, while supplies last, (for a team, average raised per team member is taken into account).
• Turn in your donations.

Any of our Registrars can help you on the day of the Walk. Go to any seated Registrar; there are no special lines; make only one stop to pick up shirts and turn in donations. All walkers are registered as individuals, even if they are part of a team -- there is only one envelope per walker so you will be sure to get credit as the fundraiser. We recommend that you allow extra time to go through Registration.
