2017 Kopano Walk for Economic Empowerment: It's A Record!

YOU can make a HUGE difference!

2017 marks the 12th year of the Kopano Walk for Economic Empowerment! Join a community walking in "kopano" (unity) with a goal of raising at least $50,000. 100% of that will go through PEER Servants to our indigenous Christian microfinance partners around the world and ultimately some of the over 150,000 clients they serve. It will provide micro-loans that enable moms and dads to grow businesses to support their families, churches, and communities. It will educate children. It will support programs that are proclaiming God's love. In short, it will extend a bit more of heaven to the materially poor, and to you as well! Please join us!

It's A Record!

Your generosity has made our 2017 Walk for Economic Empowerment a record setter - the best fundraising Walk we have ever had! And every remaining donation through Labor Day (September 4) will set a new record. June 3 was a GREAT day for the materially poor. Thank you to our walkers, donors, corporate sponsors, churches, and most especially our microfinance partners and their clients for inspiring us with their dreams and hard work. May God richly bless each micro-entrepreneur and student who will be blessed because of your role in this 2017 Walk.

Step 1 - Choose

Choose which microfinance partner you will walk for and what fundraising amount you will commit to. Microfinance partners include those in Guatemala, India, Moldova, Peru, the Philippines, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Zambia, or Where Most Needed. Fundraising commitment levels include $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000, and $7,500 (or any amount greater than $250). You have until Labor Day (Monday, September 4, 2017) to fundraise and meet or exceed your commitment level and then make up any shortfall with a personal donation.

Offline Walkers/ Donations

Not big on doing things on the web, or have donors who prefer to give cash or write a check? No problem!

If you would like to raise funds without setting up a fundraising webpage, click here to download a sponsor sheet. You can record your checks/cash from friends and family.

If you do set up a fundraising webpage and have donors who give cash/ checks, you can still post the donations on your webpage to show the progress towards your fundraising goal. Bring your checks/ cash to the Walk, or send them to us.

Checks should be made out to "PEER Servants" and mailed to us at:

PEER Servants

PO Box 258

Woburn, MA 01801

Please include a slip with your name and the MFI for which you are walking.

Thanks!

Boston Details

Are you joining us for the Boston Walk? Here are all the details:
Place: PEER Servants Office - 591 North Avenue, Wakefield, MA. (Park in the lot off Willard Road and look for our registration and hospitality tables near the end of Willard Road.)
Date: Saturday, June 3, 2017
Time: Registration at 9:30 am and Walk Start at 10:00 am
Events: We'll have a fun day for the whole family! Our corporate sponsors will start you off with a cup of coffee and donut upon your arrival and feed you a delicious lunch before you depart. We'll also have fun recreation games for the whole family and drawings throughout the day (you'll get an entry for every $250 raised) with great vacation options, local gift cards, and more. This event is far more than a fundraising walk - it's an opportunity to experience a bit more of the kingdom while we work hard to extend that kingdom to others! We'll wrap up by 2:00 pm.
Rain Site: Same place! We'll come inside for registration, hospitality, and recreation, but not let a little rain keep us from walking around the Lake.

YOU can make a HUGE difference!
