Fundraising Tips

Great ways to fundraise:

• Contact everyone you know. Even if you have not talked to that friend for a while, it's never too late to reach out to a friendship.
• Ask your family and friends to help you fundraise and get the word out.
• You will be surprised by how many people will help you with your fundraising goal; you will even receive donations from people you may not know. Just remember to thank them. Take your fundraising letter with wherever you go -- you never know when you'll get an opportunity.
• Ask the people you work with for help.
• Try a combination of fundraising ideas, including a raffle, a fundraising letter, online fundraising, a party, corporate involvement, etc...
• Start fundraising now! The earlier you start, the more you will raise.
• Donate to yourself. When people know you have made a donation to yourself they will feel very comfortable helping you.
• Last but not least -- if you don't ask, you won't receive!  Why not start today?
