Fundraising Time

We have to start thinking about raising money towards our team goal. There are a few different ways of raising funds:

1. You can forward the Team Hungry For Life fundraising page (www.firstgiving.com/teamhungryforlife ~ see link in right sidebar) onto all of your friends, family and co-workers that you think will contribute to our goal of 10K. No donation is too small.

2. Instead of passing on the team page, you can create your own fundraising page. Go to www.firstgiving.com/nsmcwalk to create. Just be sure to join Team Hungry For Life so all of the funds you raise go towards the team goal. Creating your own personal fundraising page may increase your overall total because friends/family may be more inclined to donate to you personally.

3. You can skip the online stuff and use a traditional sponsor sheet. Collecting donations this way is great for those who want to give but are not Internet savvy and do not wish to donate online, or just don't know how. If you need a sponsor sheet, email me and I can mail it to you.

Lastly, I realize that in this economy it may be difficult to raise lots of money. I even thought of lowering our team goal of 10K, but in the end decided against it. We have almost 200 confirmed walkers this year, so I think it's very feasible. If everyone who walks raises at least $50, we will easily succeed.

All I am asking is that you do the best you can. I am sincerely just happy that we will have a huge sea of blue, walking proud for D. Rich again.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Also, if you ordered a team t-shirt, please send payment to me as soon as possible. If you need my address and/or your total, email me (bettslevine@metrocast.net). I will be picking up t-shirts the first week in June and mailing them out immediately after that.

Lastly, it's really not too late to order a shirt. Because I knew there would be a few stragglers, I arranged one more order before the WALK. If you want a t-shirt, let me know.

Thanks,
Katie
