Fundraising Tips
Great ways to fundraise:
Below are a few great tips on how to fundraise! For more information, tips, and samples come to our fundraising clinic held numerous times throughout the season.
- GET STARTED NOW!!! The earlier you start, the more you will raise.
- Contact everyone you know. Even those whom you haven't spoken with in a long time.
- Ask your family and friends to help you with your fundraising 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!
- Send out an email to all your contacts letting them know of your half-marathon plans and donation goal.
- Mail a personal letter to your family, friends, co-wokers, and those whom you come into contact with often.
- Ask your work to become a sponsor.
- Try a combination of fundraising ideas, including holding a raffle, having a party, online fundraising, corporate involvement, matching gifts, etc...
- Donate to yourself. When people know you have made a donation to yourself they will feel very comfortable helping you.
