We are actively seeking a Corporate Walk Chair (CWC) for our 2013 Light The Night Walk at Newtown Youth Academy in late September 2013. We are seeking a CWC that will lead the effort in furthering corporate development and revenue growth for the Light The Night Walk by developing a large fundraising team from the CWC’s company and recruiting corporate peers to become involved as teams, sponsors, retail partners and/or executive committee members.
