E-mail all your family and friends in and out of the city to pledge you on-line. -
Ask businesses you visit regularly for donations (even you hair stylists, fitness center, sporting goods store, doctors, dentist) -
If you own a business, keep event information on the counter or at the reception desk that lets customers and client know you are participating and that you are looking for sponsors (try a collection can or a donation sheet). -
Create your own challenge among teammates or at your workplace to see who can raise the most dollars. -
Work together to help your teammates achieve their goals. -
Exceed the team fundraising goal. -
