March-A-Thon

All funds are tax deductible as a charitable contribution.

Through the MARCH-A-THON we are able to raise some additional prolife funds vitally needed to continue the work to protect the right to life for all preborn babies, their parents, and our society.

We know that for every marcher in Washington, there are many more prolifers back home who would like to do their part to promote the prolife cause. We can use our long trip to Washington to help put dollars into our meager prolife treasuries so that we can continue with important educational work all year long.
WHY WE NEED MARCH-A-THON

Agenda items of the President, Congress, and Supreme Court have set the stage for crucial prolife work which must be done for the remainder of 2009 and into 2010. Additional funds must be raised to finance these increased year-round educational activities.

Funds raised by this MARCH-A-THON will be divided evenly for work in Washington and in local prolife communities designated by the Marcher.
RULES

March for Life Fund will administer the MARCH-A-THON, including publishing sponsor sheets, validating sheets at the end of the March on January 22, notifying each sponsor of the verification, and assuring that 50% of the total proceeds collected will be distributed to those local prolife charitable groups designated by the participants.
