CONNECTIONS, CONNECTIONS, CONNECTIONS!
Some of the most successful walkers get their big bucks by asking vendors and suppliers to support them (see sample Vendor Request Letter).
INTERNAL RAFFLES & AUCTIONS!
Go through your company "goodie closet," or ask company employees to donate items. Sell tickets for an internal raffle, or auction off the items to the highest bidder.
