Quick and Easy Fundraising Ideas
- Set up a table outside of a Wal-mart or supermarket on a Saturday morning and ask for donations. Wal-mart will even let you have a bake sale.
- Going to church this weekend? Bring your fundraising letter and ask if you can take up a collection.
- Have an end of the summer party and ask for a donation at the door.
- Follow up with anyone who has not donated yet. People forget!
- Talk it up! When making small talk at the gym or running tell people what you are doing and ask if they would like to make a donation.
- Running errands this weekend? Before you pick up your dry cleaning or take-out ask for a donation--you give them your money every week.
- Send out more emails. Email your old classmates from college and high school. Send a mass email addressed to "the class of ..." And if your school has an alumni board post it on their message board.
- Going out this weekend? If someone offers to buy you drink let them make a donation to your fundraising instead!
- Have a bucket drive and enlist the help of family and friends (see attachment for more information).

About Me
- Stephen
- I became involved with Team In Training during the Spring 2007 season by training for the New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch, New Jersey. Prior races include several 5K and 10K events, and one half marathon. Training for an endurance event takes a lot of commitment, courage, and vision. Looking back on my casual running experience for the past two decades, I never imagined training for a marathon! Through Team In Training, I found a great training program, developed new friendships, and made a significant impact by raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma from taking more lives. I am continually inspired by our featured team heroes and the personal stories from friends, family, and teammates that were shared during my initial fundraising for the cause. Please enjoy reading the past stories of my experience.
