Ark of Highland Lakes’ second annual “Fun Raiser” costume walk starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at The Athletic Club, 2312 U.S. 281 in Marble Falls. All proceeds from the 1.5-mile “spooky stroll” will directly support Ark’s programs, which help individuals and families in crisis across the Highland Lakes area.
Entry is a $20 donation, which includes a free Fun Raiser T-shirt. Sign up for the walk at The Athletic Club in person. Call 830-201-4788 for more information.
“This is the community’s opportunity to donate at a level that most can do,” The Athletic Club co-founder Fermin Ortiz told DailyTrib.com. “Instead of $100 or $500—which many that would love to help cannot comfortably give—a donation of $20 for a nice, fun T-shirt supporting a great cause at a fun event is much more doable.”
Participants will receive a shirt whether or not they take part in the actual walk. Costumes are encouraged, but not required. Costume contest winners take home pies from Blue Bonnet Café.
“The Athletic Club will be matching the next $1,000 in donations, so your $10 donation becomes $20, your $20 becomes $40, and your $50 becomes $100,” Ortiz said.
Sponsorship opportunities are available. Levels range from $250, which includes a name listing, up to $1,000 for a large logo on the event T-shirt. Other sponsorship tiers are $500 for a small logo and $750 for a medium logo.
