Be a WARRIOR for Adoption!

 OK Friends and Family!!  We need you!!
  WE are raising funds for our adoption by participating in an event called the WARRIOR DASH, an extreme event/race!

 We could use your help in one of four ways:

#1-Be a PRAYER Warrior - "Religion that our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after ORPHANS and widows in their distress..." (James 1:27)  Would you please pray for us as we grow to seek and "look after" the precious orphan God has for our family?

#2-Be a VOLUNTEER Warrior - On Sat., April 21, in Jackson, MS, we have the opportunity to raise $2,000 by working the Warrior Dash race from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine!   We need 25 people to volunteer in order to earn the money!  If you and a friend/s could help in this way, email Marcee asap!

#3-Be a RACE Warrior - You can sign up to DO the race (www.warriordash.com) and then ask friends and family to sponsor you through our tax-free giving site.  Race dates are April 21 in Jackson, MS, and May 12 in Amity, AR.  My sister and her husband, Christen and Chris Layton, will be doing the MS race, while Todd and I will be doing the AR race.  If you are intersted in racing, contact Marcee for more info. We have put together a letter you can mail/email to friends/family asking for sponsorship to make it easier.  Take this opportunity to ask a friend/spouse to do the race and get sponsors with you!!  It will be an extreme relationship builder!

#4-Be a SPONSOR Warrior - If extreme events are not for you, and you're unable to help work the MS race, you could sponsor someone else to run the race at $25, $50, $100, $500, or more.  You can do this by going to http://adopttogether.org/watkinsadopt/
and donating online tax free, or mailing a check to the address listed on this link.  In the "comments" section, simply type, "Sponsor Warrior".  (This is a non-profit organization.)  ALL sponsorship money will go to Todd and Marcee Watkins for the sole purpose of the Russian adoption ($53,000 total cost).

                         Thank you in advance for considering how you can be a
                                             WARRIOR for Adoption!!!
