Fundraising Ideas
* Register at the walk-a-thon website. You'll find lots of tools and resources including importing all your email contacts! You also wont have to worry about having to bring any of the pledges that are made online with you to the walk-a-thon.
*Start collecting pledges sooner rather than later. Ask friends, family, co-workers, people you see at extra-curricular activities, etc.
*Make a button of your pet (or the animal you're walking in honor of) as a conversation starter. When someone comments on your button, ask if they are interested in sponsoring your for the walk-a-thon.
*Place a candy jar on yoru desk with donations for candy going towards your walk-a-thon goal.
*Place a dog or cat dish on your desk at work and ask for donations
*Ask friends or relatives to pass your pledge form around at their bridge clubs, churches, and social events. Be sure to include a photo of your pet :)
*Take a pledge form to daycare or school and ask for pledges
*Take orders and make sack lunches ("Doggie Bags") for your co-workers. Your "profit" is pledges towards your walk-a-thon goal. This same idea can be used for daily coffee runs for co-workers.
*Use this event to help teach your children about the importance of supporting worthwhile causes. Every time he or she accomplishes a task (washing dishes, taking out the garbage, cleaning up their room) without a reminder from you, contribute a dollar towards their pledges.
*Host a neighborhood party with a pledge as the "cover charge"
*Have donors sign the team shirt you created and wear it the day of the walk.
*Form a team! Being in a team can help you be encourage by other team members and brainstorm ways to get more pledges.
