This was taken from the Relay For Life website www.relayforlife.org/relay/fundraisingideas and is a great way to get your personal fundraising going.
1. Donate $20 and ask 4 friends to each donate $20.00.
2. Ask 20 friends for $5.00 each.
3. Ask 10 friends for $10.00 each.
4. Send a letter to family and friends (could also be an email) explaining what Relay and asking for a donation.
5. Send a letter from your pet to family and friends and ask for a donation. Don't forget to send it to your veterinarian!
6. Take a walk around your neighborhood. Knock on your neighbors' doors and ask for their support.
7. Arrange a dress down day at work. Anyone dressing down will have to pay. Be sure to have a sign that says "Please excuse our appearance today, we are dressing down to benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life". You could charge anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 to dress down. You could arrange these on a weekly or monthly basis.
8. Arrange with the principal of a local school to have a baseball cap day. Usually caps are not allowed, however for $1.00, once a month a student could wear a baseball cap to school. Be sure to have signs ready that say "Caps for a Cure, you will see students sporting baseball caps today as a fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life".
9. Hold a can or bottle drive.
10. Sell Relay For Life Suns and Moons (or footprints). These are available through Julie Harvey julie.harvey@cancer.org
These are all great ideas to give your fundraising a kick start. Happy "fun"raising!
