** Please note that if a Board Member is attending your Walk, a customized speech will be provided, so you will not need to use the Walk Day Speech Template. 

***Important note on usage of logos: Any materials that make use of either the Parkinson Society BC or Parkinson SuperWalk logo must be approved by Parkinson Society BC. Failure to comply with this may result in Parkinson Society BC being in violation of the Parkinson SuperWalk licensing agreement with Parkinson Canada.

Sponsorship Resources

Important: Please note that only donations of $250+ will be recognized on podium signage prepared for the Walk. When submitting your in-kind sponsors to Parkinson Society BC this summer, please be sure that no donors who have provided goods or services under $250 are a part of that list. Separate signage may be created by walk committees to be placed on tables for donations such as raffle prizes, door prizes, etc. Note that the signage for this cannot be more dominant (larger in size) than podium signage.
