Our 2^nd Annual Quota Cares Walk will be held at Riverside Park on Sunday, September 26^th, at 2:00 pm.

This is our opportunity to gather friends and family and walk to highlight Quota International of Grand Rapids.  Quota is part of an International organization.  Quota of Grand Rapids chartered in 1945 and we have been working in the Grand Rapids area to improve the lives of the deaf and hard of hearing.  We also champion the cause of disadvantaged women and children.

Our Quota Cares Walk is designed to be open to every one that wants to participate.  At Riverside you can walk ¼ of a mile, ½ mile or walk the course two times for approximately 4 miles.  We want to include everyone.  It’s a beautiful location right on the Grand River.

We are a 5013C organization.  Any donation that you make may be used when completing your Federal taxes.  We would appreciate your donation to help our cause so we can continue helping the people of Grand Rapids and surrounding areas.  However, if you cannot do that we just want you to come out and support Quota by walking.

Thanks to all who participated by walking or gathering pledges for our first (annual?) Quota Cares Walk on Sunday. The weather was gorgeous and the venue was ideal. Thanks to Kath for all her hard work in getting us organized.

We are still waiting on a few pledges to actually arrive, but assuming they do – here is the grand total raised for this fundraiser thus far… drum roll please…

$1,010.56!

This is amazing with only a couple dozen walkers – but goes to show what we can do when we all work together.

If you thought about pledging and haven’t done so yet, it’s definitely not too late. We won’t finalize our numbers for a couple of weeks so just let Robin know if there are pledges still hanging around out there.

Great job Kath and everyone else who helped make our Quota Cares Walk a success. I can’t wait to hear how the other clubs in our district did on their events!
