How to Fundraise-Your Rider is Counting on You!
- Set a goal for your team and for yourself. Our riders need to raise a minimum of $100 for a trophy, but your goal could be even higher!
- Make a list of those who can help you reach your goal. Include relatives, neighbors, business associates, club members, etc. Most people will give if asked!
- Get to know your rider and their family. Watch their lessons, take pictures, and learn fun stories about them to share with your potential donors.
- Personally make the first donation on your pledge form. Subsequent contributions will follow suit!
- Be genuine when asking for donations-know the “who, what, where, and why.”
- Ask the members of your team to divide and conquer. Different work places, churches, community groups, and hobbies lead to more ground covered.
Here are some easy ways to FUNdraise
- Challenge another department at work to see which can raise the most money.
- Plan bake sales and car washes with your fellow team members.
- Sell candy bars at your desk.
- Host a casual day at work with proceeds supporting the team.
- Have a picnic at Prospect Riding Center; invite your friends and family. Take donations at the event! Everyone will be able to see their dollars at work!
- Team up with a local restaurant to do profit sharing for a day!
