More Fundraising Ideas

Hello ladies! We are quickly approaching the Avon Walk so I thought I'd send out some new fundraising ideas. After taking a quick look at our Team Progress page it looks like everyone is working hard to get donations! Here are some ideas for those of us running out of people to harass on email!

  • Go to a bar on St. Patrick's Day and hand out green beads for a dollar each. (You may need to get permission from the bar owner first) You can buy the beads in bulk at stores like Target or craft stores for about $.25 each. Try to sell 200 in 2 hours and you will make $150 and have fun at a bar!
  • Sell lollipops with a pink ribbon tied around them. Just put the lollipops in a basket with a sign on them that says "Please take one. Donations welcome for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer." You can either buy lollipops, or try to make your own. Here's a link for pink ribbon lollipop molds: http://www.artbeatgifts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=bca0030
  • Plan a card party (Spades is a good card party game). Ask each person to contribute $10. At the end of the night give the winning team a gift basket make up of donated items or a bottle of wine and some nice chocolates.
  • If you work in an office, place a donation jar on your desk. Put up a sign that says "Donate your change to make a change!"
I'd love to hear from you guys as to how you are raising your money! Keep up the good work!
