It’s about that time of the year again to start preparing for the local JDRF walk. I was really excited about this years walk because my mom and dad were thinking about flying down to Florida around that time and they were going to do the walk with me, so that would have been fun. Unfortunately, the scheduling didn’t work out and they have to come down the following weekend. I need to go online and create my team and start preparing the e-mails and letters and all the other fun things to try and spread the awareness and collect donations. Sometimes it can be tough to ask for donations because it seems that there is so many other things going on. Most people are still recovering from spending a lot of money on girl scout cookies. At the same time there are other non-profits asking for money, so it’s usually tough to get a good amount of donations.
So, here is the question that I’d like to ask today. What are some of the best, coolest, and most fun ways that you have ran a fundraiser and collected money to give to your favorite.
Please spread this around, because I’d love to hear all of your creative ideas!
Have a good day.
I work at a nonprofit and we get some pretty silly “tips” from our senior fundraisers in DC. Like sending raisins to your team leaders as thank-yous, with a note that says “Thanks for raisin’ so much for XXX!”
I’m volunteering for WPB and BR since my day job will keep me from doing much else. Hope to see ya there!
