The Fundraising Fridays email from March 9th included a bunch of fun and intreguing ideas. Make sure you sign up here to receive these emails directly!
| Use Your Head to Fight Cancer! Hats on day! TGIF can take on a new meaning when you ask your company, school, or organization to allow employees or students to put their “hats on” in return for a contribution to your Relay team. Work with your management or school leadership to set a day when everyone can don their otherwise prohibited hats in return for a donation to Relay. Provide stickers to people who donate so they can be recognized! Here is a sample flyer to help you promote your FUNdraiser. Workplace not big on hats? Consider a traditional dress down day instead! Be creative! “Denim for Dollars” could be your next great workplace FUNdraiser! |
Shopping Extravaganza! Team Rockin’ Walkin’ Warriors 1, 2 & 3 from the Relay For Life of York County, Maine, are planning a Shopping Extravaganza! They have consultants from Tupperware, Scentsy, 31 bags, Pampered Chef, Uncorked bird houses, and more. They will be hosting this fantastic shopping event at a local hall. It is set up like a craft fair with each distributor having a table. They advertise the event in the paper and with local businesses. All consultants give a percentage of sales to the teams. |
30x30x30 CampaignTry to get 30 people to donate $30 each on the 30th of the month. That’s $900 in one day! This can be done individually or as a team. If you have 15 members on your team, ask each member to ask 2 people for $30. Perhaps the next month, you can do 20 x 20 x 20. Imagine the possibilities if all your teammates participated in this campaign! |
Game Night! Choose a game that your friends like to play, such as bunko, dominos, or trivia, and invite everyone over for a night of fun. You can ask for a flat donation for the entire evening, or for games like cards or dominos, players can chip in $1 for every hand or round. |
Pizza Delivery Night Team “Never Say Nevers” from the Relay For Life of New Fairfield, CT, decided to do a pizza delivery night. No one delivers pizza in their town, so they decided to offer the local pizza shop a unique opportunity! They are planning to work with the local pizza place and arrange for their team to deliver pizzas! All tips will support Relay. The team will be wearing their t-shirts from last year’s Relay to help promote the event. If you adopt this idea, consider printing a few Relay fliers to tape to the tops of each delivered pie! |
Go Green and Raise Green Done with that water bottle? Rinse it out, apply one of these labels, and voila! You have the perfect vessel for collecting dimes (or dollars). One 16 oz. bottle filled with dimes yields about $90. |
