Thanks for a great 2011 March!

Thank you all for coming out!   It was another successful year!  

The zombie banker I hired is still counting the money.... but we did collect over 300lbs of food for Table to Table!!  Amazing!  Last year was about 170.  If you didn't get a chance to pass off your food or wanted to donate (but forgot), they are located in Old Brick on Linn Street in Iowa City!  
More updates about how much raised to come!

Thanks again for the great year!!

P.S. We still have some shirts available.  I will be posting sizes soon.

T-Ball Sponsorship

We here at ZombieMarch.org had an opportunity to sponsor an area youth T-ball team, which we jumped on.

Studies do show that youth involved in activities do better academically.   I would love to give our team the slogan “We’ve got brains!” because it would play right into the whole zombie theme.  None the less, we’re glad to be sponsoring.

I look forward to making it out to see my team play atleast once or twice during the season.  If you would also like to get out and see them, you can down load their schedule here: http://www.focol.org/PalisadesAthletics/Palisades_files/2010%20T-Ball_schedule.pdf

I hope to see you there!!   Go Zombies!!

The FIFTH Annual Iowa City Zombie March!! (Can you believe it?!)

Number 5 is just around the corner!  Can you believe it?

It will be held on Sept. 18th, 2010 @ 5:00 PM, starting at the usual place.   If you don’t know where that is, click on the 201o Iowa City Zombie March Link to the right, just below About Us

We have many repeat sponsors, but we are always looking for more.  I’m hoping we can break our record of $1,800 raised last year!!    Being a sponsor only costs $50 and you get a free 2010 zombie march t-shirt that will have your name/ business name on the back.  These are the same shirts sold to raise money for the main charity (charities) of the year.  This year is flood relief.    You will also get your name on our website and we’ll promote you at the march and let people know you helped out.

Lastly, because we have made it this far, we here at ZombieMarch.org are looking into actually becoming a non-profit.  So far, I’ve ordered a book to see what it all takes.   More to follow as things develop.

As always, thanks for your support if you’ve donated, participated or sponsored.  And if you haven’t, thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you out there this year!!
