Make Fundraising Fun for Co-workers!

We are just 2 months away from the MS Walks that are taking place on April 18th 2010. Now is the time (if you haven't already) to kick your fundraising into high gear!

This Week's Tip:

Fundraising at work can sometimes be intimidating; however it doesn't have to be!

Make it fun for your co-workers. Ask your co-workers to pledge you and offer them a baked treat for a pledge over, say, $25.00.

You will find that your co-workers will pledge you more when you offer a baked treat in exchange for a pledge!

Weekly Fundraising Tip:

Save your spare change everyday. It is as simple as putting a jar on your table, emptying your daily change into it and watching it add up. You'll be surprised how much you'll save for your own pledge by the time the MS Walk is here!

Ask others to donate their spare change! You can have a penny/change drive at work or with friends!
