S
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation (ASF) is
a national 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization
made up of families, caregivers and medical
professionals who care about those with
Angelman syndrome. Our mission is to advance
the awareness and treatment of Angelman
syndrome through education, information,
research, advocacy and support. Angelman
syndrome (AS) is a neuro-genetic disorder that
occurs in 1 in every 15,000 live births. Individuals
with AS exhibit symptoms such as: developmental
delay; lack of speech; seizures; inappropriate
laughter; and walking and balance disorders.

DONATION REQUEST FORM
SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2015
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation Walk has been an essential source of
funding for the Angelman Syndrome Foundation since its start in 1999. What
began as a single volunteer walk site, now includes more than 30 walks across
the country and is recognized as the top fundraising event for the organization.
Through education, information, research, advocacy and support, your
participation in the National Walk helps all of us at ASF take strides toward
improving the lives of those impacted by AS. With your help, we are moving
closer to powerful treatments and an eventual cure for Angelman syndrome.
We are continually grateful for the support that we receive year after year.
WHAT’S NEW FOR 2015
New Walk Locations
ASF is thrilled to welcome Eugene, Oregon, International Falls, Minnesota,
Olathe, Kansas and Durham, North Carolina as new Walk sites! This year, a
total of 33 cities will host Walks.
Fundraising Incentive Program
Our Fundraising Incentive Program has changed slightly this year. Prizes
will be awarded cumulatively (i.e., Raise $250 – receive the insulated bag;
Raise $500 – receive both the insulated bag and picnic blanket, etc…).
Read further for complete details.
“Fairly New for 2015”
In 2014 we introduced a new process – the $25 Minimum Online Fundraising
Goal. It was a significant change. You may still have questions. For clarity sake,
we have pulled together some $25 Minimum Online Fundraising Goal FAQs:
Q. W
hy do I have to raise $25 in order to get my shirt and SWAG
bag?
A. We want to see EVERYONE get a t-shirt, bag, water bottle, etc… The
simplest answer we can give is SWAG costs money! This is why the
majority of walk/run races charge an entrance fee.
You may have a question we didn’t address. If so, please contact Kitty
Murphy at Angelman Syndrome Foundation, Inc. –kmurphy@angelman.
org, or 800-432-6435.
WALKERS
Raise Funds – Earn Swag – Have a Picnic!
Fundraising incentive prizes will be awarded to individuals based on the
total amount raised online by a participant by June 15, 2015. Prizes will be

to individuals, not teams, for their individual amount raised.

Vendor Fair
We are encouraging all Walk sites to host Free Vendor Fairs. This ‘free’
privilege is specifically for vendors that provide resources or support items
designed for individuals with AS. Vendor examples include government
entities, community organizations, product manufacturers, topical subject
matter experts, and a variety of professionals who are familiar with the
needs of individuals with AS. If you have a suggested vendor who you
feel should participate at your Walk site, contact your local Walk site
coordinator.
Your Donations Support
Funds raised from the Angelman Syndrome Foundation National
Walk support research, educational and informational opportunities,
and support programs and services that enhance the quality of life for
individuals with Angelman syndrome and their families.
Q. W
hat about my child with AS? What about my children under
11 years? What about the volunteers?
A. Children with AS, children under 11 years and all volunteers will receive
a t-shirt and SWAG regardless. This has been and will be our policy for
the foreseeable future.

Q. What does this mean for groups FUNDRAISING AS A TEAM?
A. Qualifying participants received after the cut-off date are not guaranteed
a t-shirt and SWAG. T-shirts and Swag will be given to ‘late arrivals’ only
while supplies last! A few extras will be ordered based on an educated
estimate, but this cushion will be slim. If your heart is set on a T-shirt, etc…,
please reach your Minimum Online Fundraising Goal early!
City State Zip 6
A. The deadline to be guaranteed a t-shirt and bag is April 20th. Promotional
orders have to be turned in with final numbers in order to get merchandise
to all the sites on time. If we over-order, we waste our constituents’ money.
Q. W
hat if I reach my Minimum Online Fundraising Goal after
April 20th – can I still get a t-shirt and swag?
Address 5
Q. W
hat’s the deadline? And Why do you have one?
A. Fundraising as a team is a new option for 2015 when creating a team.
When you fundraise as a team, the amount your team raises online
by April 20th needs cover $25 for each person on your team in order
for everyone to get a t-shirt. If your team has 10 people, and you have
raised $200 online by April 20th, then your team captain will be given
8 shirts and bags to distribute as they see fit.
Please print. Complete all information for each participant. Please only use one form per address.
