Fundraising Tips

Start Early! It's a proven fact, the earlier you start, the more money you will raise. As soon as you sign up get started!
Break down your target. Once you get it down to more maneagable amounts it'll be a lot easier to reach.
Be proactive! Sending around sponsorship requests is always a great start but you need to take it further. Plan events.
Fundraise online. The internet is a great way to get lots of people to donate.
SHOUT ABOUT IT! Be proud of what you are doing and don't be shy to tell everyone you know. Most people will be happy to donate, and even help organise events, they just need to be politely reminded!
