Fundraising Ideas: Below we have listed a few ideas that will make fundraising for the 6th annual 5K Run / Walk for Autism a rewarding experience for you and your team!
1. Letter/Email Writing Campaign Ø This is one of the most effective ways to fundraise money! Ø Find someone you see or talk to every day and send them a letter or an email stating the why you want to raise money and ask for their support, or even ask them face-to face! 2. Raise $100 in only 10 days! Ø For 10 days pick 10 people you want to ask for $10 dollars. Ø For example, on day one you put in $10 dollars, on day two ask a friend, on day three ask a co-worker and so forth! After the 10th day you will have $100 and feel free to keep asking to increase your donations! 3. Create a team Ø Get a team together, whether it is your racing team or just a team for fundraising and challenge your teammates by setting a fundraising goal! Ø This is a great way to get everyone involved and to raise money! 4. Talk about it! Ø You will be surprised by just telling your friend, family, community, or church members about the race! Ø Let them know that you are fundraising, provide some facts, and let them know it is for a great organization!
