Fundraising Update & Housekeeping
Fundraising Tip!
Our fall season team is
still moving the needle
with a fundraising
total of $22,015 this
week! Disney is
continuing to raise
more and more, with
$5,360 in the bank!
Just a reminder that
Peak Season
recommitment
paperwork is due
August 15th.
Adirondack ½
Marathon paperwork
is out and due back on
Friday, August 23rd.
If anyone would like
winter season
brochures to display
anywhere in the
community, please let
me know!
**Congratulations to
Karen McIntyre who
completed the
Fronhofer Tool
Triathlon last
weekend! Thank you
Karen for being part of
not one but TWO
events this season!
You rock!!!
Think about things that are
already happening. Instead
of coming up with an event
from scratch, piggy back off
of something that is already
set up.
A great example is sporting
events. People always like
to buy a square in a pool or
bet on certain teams.
Travers Weekend at the
Saratoga Race Track is
approaching very soon. You
could do a day at the track
or have a pool for one or a
few of the races.
Football season is just
around the corner too!
Host a party for the first
Sunday of football and sell
squares on a certain game.
Have people over to the
house and have raffles or
other ways to make a
donation. What’s great
about this is people don’t
have to be present. Family
or friends from around the
country can buy a square
and still have the chance to
support your fundraising
efforts from far away!
The key to fundraising is to
host FUNdraisers that YOU
personally enjoy. Put your
time and energy into
something that you find
fun.
