Getting Started
1.
Download your participant packet that
includes:
2010 CTB Northwest Aerobathon
Brochure Form and Information
2010 CTB Northwest Aerobathon Pledge
and Sponsor sheet, and tips for
gaining pledges
2. Use your
Aerobathon Form and spreadsheet to
record as many sponsors or pledges as
possible. Ask neighbors, friends, family
members, business associates and local
businesses to sponsor you. They can
pledge a certain amount per minute of
exercise or give you a flat set amount
in cash or by check. High school seniors
have used this as a community service
project in the past and got their entire
class involved in this effort.
Businesses have had their employees
participate as an organization! It is a
great way to do something healthy
together for a good cause!

you individually is to commit to doing
...
20 minutes
of exercise per day for 7 days = 140
