Fundraising Ideas

Tell everyone about your fundraising activities: friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, associations, classmates. They are all potential donors. Ask everyone for their support. Here are more ideas to raise funds:

Team up – Recruit a team of friends and/or co-workers and increase your fundraising efforts by working together.

Double your fundraising – Check with your employer for a matching gifts program.

Promote the event with a WALK T-shirt
– Purchase 2010 WALKwear online at www.northshorecancerwalk.org or at NSMC.

Organize an event – Let people know all proceeds benefit the North Shore Cancer WALK. The possibilities are endless: yard sale, candy sale, benefit dance or auction, raffle, car wash or dog wash. Ask friends to donate to the WALK in lieu of gift giving; ask a local restaurant to donate a portion of one day’s sales. Invite your friends for a get-together and raise funds
with a wine tasting, pot luck dinner, game night or tea party.

Write a fundraising letter – Mail or e-mail your contacts about your involvement in the North Shore Cancer WALK and ask for their support.

Online fundraising
– Start your fundraising early—log on to www.northshorecancerwalk.org. Create your own fundraising page! Friends and family can donate online and you can send personal e-mails to encourage participation.

  1. Walks are always a great idea, they promote healthy living and spark active community participation for all ages and demographics. I am still currently attempting to come up with more fundraising ideas
    for my grandmother's support at the moment, so far so good! Keep up the great work! - Sarah =)
