First Year Walkathon generates over $60000

The Friends of Peter Alderman Walk (http://walk.petercalderman.org/) was organized by the Peter C Alderman Foundation (http://www.petercaldermanfoundation.org/).

Their 1st walkathon was a success on many levels.

1. The event raised over $60,000
2. The event participants raised over $600 each on average.  That's fantastic.  Anything over $250 is great.
3. The results have the Foundation already thinking about next year

This was a well thought out event - everything from the event day acitivites to their choice of fundraising software.  It's further proof that first year Walkathons can be very successful.  Especially if you have the right partner to guide you through the process.
