FUNDRAISING TIPS
TIPS FOR RAISING MONEY IN 8 EASY STEPS
We are excited you have chosen to participate in the BPY Mini Golf Classic. We’d like to show you just how simple it can be to raise money for our cause.
Set your fundraising goal to an amount you're comfortable with; $500, $1000, $1800. Simply adjust the minimum donation amount you’re asking of each potential donor and/or increase the number of people you’re going to ask.
Use social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Send an e-blast and share what you are doing. Include your personal fundraising page link as well, so they can donate immediately. Ask friends for $25! Try choosing a different group of friends to target each week. The key is volume. $25 a person adds up quickly.
