How it works:

Step 2: Become a Social Fundraiser!

Share your page with friends, family and your social network.  Encourage them to make a pledge to your “virtual walk”. Any donation will go to support families that the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation serves.

Step 3: Promote, Promote, Promote – Any Amount Helps!

Step 4: Tie Your Shoelaces and Set Out for the Walk!

On May 30th and/or May 31st, hit the ground walking. We will be sharing information on how to stay connected to other walkers and your network through the “virtual walk” platform.   

Fundraising for the Virtual Walk: 

First and foremost, we understand that our dedicated Gloridays teams have already fundraised so much for this years event. We are forever grateful for the continued work that you do. All of your have been so dedicated to our organization and have helped us get to where we are today. We would never have been able to do it without you.

With that being said, we can’t continue to do it without you. We need your help to continue to provide programs and services to the people we serve! With the recent cancellation of our fundraising events through August, we are currently 80% down in donations for fiscal year 2020.
We understand that many of you may currently find yourselves furloughed or out of work. All we ask is that you help us share and promote this event. Any donation amount helps further our ability to provide the programs and services to those we have vowed to serve.

Why is the goal 444?

The goal of 4’s is based off of our Annual GloriDays Walk. A walk that has unfortunately been canceled this year due to the Pandemic.
In numerology, a series of 4’s indicates that “your angels are helping you achieve your goals. It is a sign that your angels are very close, giving you the strength to endure any possible obstacles.”

The “ladies” of “The View” discuss this week’s hot topics live on Facebook.

Tune in On Every Sunday in May (2:00 – 3:30pm)

Tipping is greatly appreciated and split between all the hosts — Venmo @MsHaleyStar.

Disclaimer: All performers are practicing safe social distancing in their daily life at all times. Per Governor Gina Raimondo’s guidelines, we are all part of our “list of 5” and have taken necessary precautions to care for ourselves and those around us.
