24-Hour Walk-a-Thon. This Friday. On the Greenway. 4:00pm-4:00pm.

Yep, you read correctly, 24 hours. But don't worry, that doesn't mean that YOU need to be there for the whole thing. We totally understand that this is the weekend before finals, you've made previous plans, or maybe you fiercely guard your sleep time. All we are asking is that you show up. 5 hours. 2 hours. 30 minutes. You can bring a donation, get some sponsors to pay you for every mile you walk, or just buy a tee shirt and go back home. For those of you who don't live in Collegedale, it's OK. We need as much prayer as possible. Maybe on the day of the walk-a-thon you could just make an extra effort to remember the orphanage and this event in your prayers.

We are halfway to our $20,000 goal for the dairy project and whatever you do will help. Back in Arkansas, a pre-K through 2nd grade class has raised over $200. And that's just 4-9 year olds giving their lunch money away. In Collegedale, 12 college students raised $1,800. And one high school boy raised over $1,000. Some have donated the money they received from their tax returns; some, the money they were left with after a close relative died. What we are saying is that a lot of little amounts can make a HUGE difference. Check out this video:
