Fundraising Walker Badges

The Walk for LIFE Badge system encourages and rewards online fundraising by Fundraising Walkers. You earn badges by meeting specific online fundraising thresholds. Each badge earned gives you one entry into a prize drawing after Walk for LIFE concludes. Badge achievements are outcome-based, automatically tracked, and not sequential—one action can trigger multiple badges at once.

How it works

  • All charitable-completed donations count toward badges (online and offline).
  • You do not need to earn badges in any particular order.
  • Dollar-based badges and donation-count badges are independent. A single action may satisfy multiple badge criteria.

Examples: earning multiple badges at once

Example 1: One large online gift
A Fundraising Walker gives $1,200 to themselves online. They automatically earn: All-In, Choosing LIFE, Lives Matter, Voice for LIFE, and Champion for LIFE badges—5 badges total, 5 prize drawing entries.

Example 2: Many smaller online donations
A Fundraising Walker receives 15 online donations totaling $350. They earn: Choosing LIFE, Impact Maker, Lives Matter, Making a Difference, and Save the Babies badges—5 badges total, 5 prize drawing entries.

Example 3: Mixed approach
A Walker makes a $25 self-donation, receives 7 more online donations, and raises $420 online total. They earn: All-In, Choosing LIFE, Impact Maker, and Lives Matter badges—4 badges, 4 entries.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to earn badges in order?
No. Badges are threshold-based, not step-based. You do not need to earn them in any particular order.
Does one donation count toward more than one badge?
Yes. A single action (or group of donations) can satisfy multiple badge criteria at once. The more badges you earn, the more chances you have in the prize drawing.
Do offline donations count toward badges?
Yes. All charitable-completed donations count toward badges, including offline pledges and online donations.
When is the prize drawing?
Prize drawings occur after Walk for LIFE concludes, not weekly.
What are the badges about?
Badge names are meant to affirm your impact and reflect our mission. They are not about competition—they are about celebrating how every dollar and every donor helps support moms, dads, and babies in our community.
