 Second Gear: Fundraise
As the Team captain, it is up to you to set your Team’s fundraising goal. Keep this in mind as you determine your Team goal: At the 2008 Bike MS ride, the average cyclists raised $533. Start there, and then push further!
|
$___ goal of dollars raised per teammate x ___ teammates = My team’s fundraising goal! |
Need an example to get you started? $560 x 10 teammates = $5600!
Following is a checklist, to assist you and your Team reach (and surpass!) your fundraising goal:

Fundraising Checklist |
 |
I have set a team fundraising goal, and have communicated this to my Team. |
|
I have sent out "sponsor me" emails and/or letters to my family, friends, co-workers and contacts, asking for their support of my Team. I've encouraged my Team to do the same. |
|
I have made a list of possible team fundraisers, and picked a date for one of these events to take place. |
|
I have checked to see if my company has a matching gift program. |
|
I have tracked my donations, and have thanked my sponsors. |
|
I have informed my Team members that they can also sell Bands of Hope to fundraise. |
|
I have sent out a reminder email/letter to those who have not sponsored my yet, updating them on my fundraising progress and reminding them of how much more I need to raise to reach my goal. |
