    Set a Goal / Ask Away

    The most common reason people aren’t involved in fundraising is that no one asked them. Talk to your family, friends, co-workers, and community about getting involved in any way they can.

    Start by setting a fundraising goal and then plan on how to reach your goal. It's easier than you might think. Below are some tips on how to fundraise:

    • Contact 10 people you know to each donate
    • Ask 7 local businesses you know to donate  (beauty, salon, gym, grocer, etc.)
    • Ask 3 organizations you know to donate 
    • Host a team fundraising party - set a reachable goal 
    • Ask Away! Ask friends, family, social media, colleagues to donate
