April 17, 2008 The Biggest Loser
My 9 week fund-raiser for “The Biggest Loser” begins with my weigh-in tomorrow. So far I have 5 people who have agreed to sponsor me at $1/lb and Kelly Lynn has agreed to sponsor me at $5/lb. I did a cut and paste from the email that went out this morning… look for the first update post on 4/25/2008
Welcome to the first-annual BIGGEST LOSER contest!
Spring is in full swing and it’s time to get in shape for a great cause. Our first annual BIGGEST LOSER contest is a great way to engage in a little healthy competition and raise money for CBAfrica. Of course, all proceeds will go to benefit Millennium Promise!
Here are the details:
- When: This Friday, April 18th – Friday, June 20th (9 weeks)
- How much: $50 to participate
In addition to the entry fee, you can also get coworkers, friends, and family to sponsor you in your weight loss goals! For every additional $100 you raise and submit at weigh-ins, we will credit you an additional pound at the end of the contest.
Prizes:
- A trip to Chicago to take part in the Miles for Malawi 5k fun run (registration’s on us, too!)
- Public recognition of your efforts on the main stage at Miles for Malawi on June 22nd
Some ground rules:
- The winner will be determined by percent of body weight lost
- Weigh-ins will take place weekly on Fridays at your respective office
- You must weigh in every week, unless you are out of the office on business
- Your weight will not be posted in the contest tracker. However, your percentage of body weight lost will be posted
- All additional money raised via sponsorships must be submitted by the final weigh-in on June 20th
- All payments can be made in cash or checks payable to Millennium Promise
