FUND RAISING TIPSS 1. Start now! Set your goal and develop a personal message. Tell everyone the reason why you are walking to raise money for lupus. 2. Send your e-mail to those in your e-mail address book but don't forget other possible donors. There are many people who you do not contact online but may want to support your efforts. 3. Keep your sponsor sheet with you and keep extras at work or in your car. You never know when you see someone who is a potential donor. The main reason people do not give is because they were not asked! 4. Remember to update your donors after the walk- let them know how much you raised and how much money the Lupus Alliance raised as well. 5. Post your sponsor sheet at your office if they will let you. You can also send a message through inter-office e-mail if allowed. 6. Check and see if your company gives matching funds. 7. Set a goal to ask one person a day for a pledge- don't forget your physicians, pharmacist, hairdresser, parents of your kids friends, and all your relatives! 8. Share any additional ideas you might have with your fellow walkers by e-mailing us at info@lupusupstateny.org and we will pass it on!
