Fundraising Tips for the Final Stretch!

Check out these awesome tips for fundraising during the final 10 days before the marathon!

• Happy Hours at local bars/restaurants
• You know that thing call Facebook....well, use it to your advantage! Facebook message 5 of your friends each day for the next week....if half of them give $10 or $15 bucks you will be well over $400 donated!
• Know an outside sales rep for Mary Kay, Rubbermaid, Candles, Jewelry....perfect see if you can host a party and you get a percentage of all sales!
• Email, email, email....people WILL donate and a lot of time they want to donate and do something good! Just make sure you do your part in following up with them. People have to see something on average seven times before they act on it!
• Bake Sale or a "Causal for a Cause" day at work...this works well and gets your co-workers involved and in the know about what you are doing!

Also, if you register as a team of 5 or more you only have to raise $400 individually. For a team of 5, your fundraising requirement is $2000 collectively; a team of 6 would have a collective requirement of $2400. If you join as an individual you have to raise $500 and you will be placed on a team for the event. For all of the dancers that registered online between February 14th-28th...you were granted $50 towards your fundraising goal. This will not be reflected online, but we have this on the back end and your fundraising total will be $450 is an individual or $350 if with a team of five or more!
