Each
RONA MS Bike Tour participant commits to raising at least
$250 to fight the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.
All cyclists will be required to turn in the $250 fundraising
commitment on or before June 26th, 2010 (NB tour) or July
24th, 2010 (NS tour) to participate in the Tour. To get you started, here are some tools and tips to make your fundraising effort a success!
Start by sponsoring yourself using the online fundraising system. Your potential donors will recognize your commitment and be encouraged to support you. |
It's easy, quick and your donors will be recognized immediately in your fundraising graph.
|
Your co-workers may become competitive when they see how others in the office are supporting you. |
Personalize your fundraising letter using the sample letters above and mail it to everyone you can think of: friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. Also, give them a pledge deadline. |
If you limit those you ask, you limit the amount of money you will raise. It's a well known fact that some people give just because they were asked. |
Meet with your human resources department to discuss matching gifts programs. Often if the company doesn't have a formal matching gifts program, they will still support your efforts financially.
