Fundraising Tips for Friendship Walk - One Week Away!

Great news, friends! Our Friendship Walk and Festival of Friendship event is only one week away! Have you already singed up? Perfect! Need some help fundraising? Well, no worries! It's not too late! In fact, we're going to tell you how to raise $200 - in just one week! And, it's easy!

Here's what to do:

DAY ONE: Put in your own $20 ($20)
DAY TWO: Ask your best friend or spouse for $20 ($40)
DAY THREE: Ask two co-workers, your boss, etc for $20 ($80)
DAY FOUR: Ask your three relatives for $20 ($140)
DAY FIVE: Ask a neighbor for $20 ($160)
DAY SIX: Ask two people from church/temple or clubs/sports teams for $10 ($180)
DAY SEVEN: Ask the manager of your special store/restaurant for $20 ($200)

See? Totally do-able!

And, here are a few more ideas:


• Give something up - movie, manicure or dinner at an expensive restaurant - and contribute what you would have spent to the Friendship Walk.
  
• Host a fundraising party and ask attendees to pledge their support.
  
• Create a buddy system. Ask someone who cannot walk to help you collect donations.
  
• Bring your fundraising letter and Friendship Walk information everywhere.
  
• Ask one person a day to sponsor you in the Friendship Walk.
  
• Ask your friends to contribute to the Friendship Walk instead of purchasing a gift for your birthday, anniversary, or any occasion!

Of course, you all want to help raise money just because Best Buddies is so fabulous, and you want us to be able to keep making those awesome friendship matches, but to keep it interesting, we have some swag to give out!
