Re: Whats the best way to fundraise?

One effective method of gathering funds is a $100X100 program. Basically you solicit family, friends and neighbors for $100 towards your team, or whatever they can afford. If you have 10 students each get 10 people to give $100, there's $10,000. A good idea is for students to give potential donors a handout of some sort with information on their team, and to be prepared to answer questions.

You might not reach $10,000, but I know first hand that this program works, but only works with dedicated students.

Last year we raised a significant amount this way.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
