Easy Tips For Getting Started
- Contact everyone you know. Even if you have not talked to that friend for a while - you never know who will have a connection!
- 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 you wherever you go -- you never know when you'll get an opportunity.
- Ask co-workers 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?
