Fund Raising Begins with “Fun”
Fund Raising Begins with “Fun”
Many runners successfully turn their fund-raising efforts into creative outlets for their dedication to the cause.
The average runner goes far above and beyond the $400 minimum pledge. It is helpful to set a fund-raising goal and break target amounts into smaller, more manageable increments.
To get you started, here is a simple yet eye-opening strategy for raising $1,000 in only nine days!- DAY 1 Start by sponsoring yourself for $50
- DAY 2 Ask two family members to sponsor you for $50
- DAY 3 Ask 10 friends to each contribute $20
- DAY 4 Ask five co-workers to each contribute $20
- DAY 5 Ask five neighbors to each contribute $20
- DAY 6 Ask 10 people from your local gym to each donate $10
- DAY 7 Ask your boss for a company contribution of $50 (or find out if your company will match what you raise)
- DAY 8 Ask five businesses with which your company works to sponsor you for $40
- DAY 9 Ask four businesses you frequent (for example, your barber/hair stylist, dry cleaner, veterinarian, restaurants, etc.) to contribute $25
