Here are some great ideas to
get you started in
your fundraising efforts for the Snow Run Events.
Pledge Sheet:
Always ask your family and friends to write
their sponsorship amount on the pledge sheet first-they tend
to be the most generous and
they set the standard for everyone who sees the form after.
Always
carry change with you when presenting your pledge sheet.
This will make easier for your
sponsor and less likely to turn you down.
General Tips:
Send an article and
photo to your local newspaper, town newsletter, snowmobile club,
school or church group. Make sure to include how they can sponsor
you along with your contact information.
Approach colleagues at
work, employer, local companies you may have links to or
ask them to do a
small fundraiser jar or campaign for you if time allows.
Matching Funds- Do you work for an employer that has matching
funds? Ask for any forms needed and submit to the organization.
Ask family and friends to help you fund raise, make copies
of your pledge sheet and attach a personal letter from you
asking for support and your personal reason why you are involved.
Ask clients, suppliers or customers that may support you
in your business world. Contact them by fax, email or correspondence.
Ask a local business to do coin jars or even a guess the
jelly bean contest. All guesses are a $1.00 and proceeds
go to your fundraising efforts. The closets one wins the
jar of jelly beans. And ask the local business to donate
a gift card to help in the efforts.
Email campaign. Personalize
your involvement to all that you keep in touch with and let
them know of the event and your fundraising goal.
Raffle
a basket of goods off at your hair salon. Ask for permission
to place a donated item or basket at your hair salon. Make
simple tickets on the computer and ask for the receptionist
to assist you for one month in selling tickets.
Jeans
for Awareness. Are you the boss? Or can you ask your boss to
approve donations of $5 or $10 dollars and your co workers
get to wear jeans for the day.
Bake sale office party:
have a bake sale or office party. Would your church or employer
let you do a bake sale? How about an office lunch. Make chili
and chips for lunch and instead of going out to lunch, a $5
donation gets you a home cooked bowl of chili and helps support
your fundraising!
