Fundraising Tips

Fundraising is easier than you think! Below are a few recommendations to kickstart your fundraising.

  • Host a fundraiser such as a pizza party or jeans day at your place of work.
  • Set up a "no word" or "swear" jar in your home, where every time you say a certain word, you must put $X in the jar.
  • Host a bottle drive in your neighborhood.
  • Conduct a bake sale. 
  • Add your fundraiser link to your email signature. 
  • Text or email your fundraiser link to family and friends.
  • Share your fundraiser on social media!
