2013 North Texas Sponsorship Opportunities

Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes is a signature fundraising event for the Association and is held in North Texas every fall. Step Out 2011 brought 2,500 walkers to the Ballpark in Arlington, and we hope for 3000 plus in 2012. Corporate sponsors and their teams join friends and family teams for this fun 5k trek. Accompanying the walk is a Health and Fitness Expo, which in 2011 showcased over 30 vendors.
