Here are some ideas for raising team donations:
Host a fundraising party or event. Individuals and teams may have success partnering with an area business for a spirit night fundraiser. The following businesses host these types of fundraisers and might be willing to partner with you:
- Chick-fil-A
- Krispy Kreme
- Blaze Pizza
- Jersey Mike’s
- Chipotle
- Potbelly
Create a buddy system. Ask someone who can’t participate in the race to help you collect donations.
Suggest a friendly competition among your team members. Set weekly or monthly goals to beat and recognize team members who reach it first. Some ideas include:
- First team member to raise $xxx gets…
- Whoever recruits the most members gets to pick where we go to lunch after the race.
- Schedule a team lunch or happy hour when they reach a milestone toward their overall goal.
- Give them frequent shout-outs on your social media and in your weekly team emails when they reach their goals.
- Ask your friends to contribute to your team instead of purchasing a gift for your birthday.
