Fundraising Tips:

  • Set a personal goal and send a letter to everyone you know. It is a rule of thumb that 50 or more letters usually equals your goal.
  • Be open about why you are walking and why others should contribute to this cause or join your team.
  • In fundraising letters, ask for what you feel each individual would be willing to give.
  • Remind your donors to utilize corporate matching programs.
  • Use other affiliations to raise money or recruit team members. Let your church, school, or any other organizations that you belong to know what you are doing and how the members can help. Find out how to place a notice in your church bulletin, school paper, or organization newsletter.
  • Use your place of employment to display information on how your fundraising is going; make sure co-workers can see it.
  • Utilize company newsletters or bulletin boards to get information out. See if your company will put up posters or table tents in a lunchroom or even let you pass out brochures. Please contact us for marketing materials.
  • Don't overlook web technology and the simple outlet of email.
  • Make sure to send a thank you to every donor or new recruit and also a letter following the Walk to let everyone know how you did.

Together we can make a difference!
