Title: I need help with IDEAS....
Post by: Bizmark33 on April 02, 2007, 11:57:19 pm
I just signed up today with my local AIDSWALK, which is on April 28th.

     I am not asking anyone on this board for donations or anything, I am just asking for help with ideas on finding donors (sponsors). I have sent e-mails to friends and relatives, andn co-workers (all that I have e-mails addresses for). I even printed up some flyers with my information on it. What I would like is any ideas.
     This is a normal fundraising drive, annd I have a pledge form, where I can sign people up. I don't want to get into any LEGAL trouble, just want to do some fundraising, and find people. Any ideas???? Who would be good to hit up, and where should I go?? Anyone had any luck with anything like this?? Does door-to door work for you, or is it frowned upon? Would going to a mall be a bad idea??? I have seen people outside my local Home Depot, Lowes, and Walmart, trying to raise funds for Boy Scouts, etc, but I have no idea how I would go about doing something like that. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanx,

~Brian

As long as you wear those tiny shorts that show your bubble ass you're all good :)

Haha!! I don't think so..did I mention that this is KANSAS?? Besides me not really having a "bubble" butt, I'm not looking to turn off potential donors. Some won't for various reasons, and some people don't like to be asked for money. I just want to know the best way to go about doing it, and the best people to hit up. I thought about businesses, but I am at a loss as to how to go about finding the owners. I also thought about Dr's and Lawyers, but I know thier time is valuable, and many don't like to mess with it. Anyhow...nix the butt idea....next..
