I would like to expand my fundraising efforts for Great Strides this year and would like to hear what others have done. I was thinking car wash, benefit concert (a few friends of mine are in bands) and maybe selling candy or something at work. What do you think? Of course I will do the usual letter writing campaign and I am going to start budding my company for a big donantion (they did $500 last year).

Hannah and Michael used to be HUGE CFF fundraisers. Here's some of the things they did.

Service auction-this kind of requires you to be somewhat socially connected. Hannah and Michael would get people to donate work (This lady will clean your house top to bottom, this guy will tailor a suit to you, etc) Then they would auction off the services to raise money.

they also sold roses in May for CF awareness. That one's pretty straight forward.

They held 50/50 raffles at the local college. a 50/50 raffle is where each ticket is a dollar, and whoever wins gets half the pot, and the charity gets the other half. This is good because there's no investment required.

Michael is a carpenter, so he makes custom furniture and sells it for charity.

They still do most of this stuff, it just goes to the local hospice now. I
ll ask them for more ideas.
