We are contacting you today to present a unique, local sponsorship opportunity for the benefit of the GBS-CIDP Foundation International, a qualified 501(c)(3) organization (tax ID:22-2474769). The Foundation is the preeminent global non-profit organization supporting individuals and their families affected by Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and related syndromes such as multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) through a commitment to support, education, research, and advocacy.
What is the Event?
2018 will mark the inaugural GBS-CIDP Foundation Walk & Roll – Twin Cities. The 1-mile leisurely walk and roll will take place May 19th (9 a.m.) at Battle Creek Regional Park in Maplewood, Minnesota.
The Walk & Roll is a community-driven national walk to support scientific innovation, a quicker diagnosis, and better treatments for those stricken by this devastating illness. We are walking for RESEARCH, and each walk is one mile closer to overcoming the challenges of living with GBS, CIDP and MMN.
In addition to the 1-mile walk, the event will feature a silent auction, a raffle, refreshments, and an authentic, Midwestern, collegial environment. So invite your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers to join our mission, walk a mile, and have fun too!
