Tips for Fundraising

 

The “average joe” HD Walker raises $100 for the HD Walk for the Cure. 

With twice as much time, a Firstgiving website, and lots of support before the October 20th, 2007 Walk, you can easily raise more!

Remember:

 

-         When a fundraiser receives you a check – right away fill out a “Fund Tracker Slip” (which has both your contact information, your Team Leader’s name and the donor’s contact information, which includes First/Last Name, Full Address, Phone, Preferred E-mail and Company). 

-         This information is kept confidential by HDSA-OC – it is used to mail a “thank you letter” (for tax deduction/record purposes) and information about the upcoming HD Walk. 

-         HDSA-OC keeps track of individual fundraisers’ collection amounts.  Top fundraisers are recognized at the HD Walk.
