Extreme Veteran  604   Ohio |  Subject: Another fundraising question RE: Wal-MartHey all you experienced fundraisers, I'm going to try and sit outside Wal-Mart to raise money for TNT. I wanted to give the people that donated cute little bags of candy or cookies...What do you think about that? Would that motivate folks for a donation? Any other ideas? I thought about wearing a TNT tri uniform too, but it might be a little cold for that, and that might turn people off Thanks!!!!! I really appreciate it! |
Ha, Ha. Don't know how many people want to see me in a tri uniform | 2006-01-30 1:21 PM in reply to: #334877 |

We also set up a little "info" table with brochures, pictures of our patient hero, etc. and hang a TNT sign on it. My one friend bought some cheap candy and had it sitting in a fish bowl and if people donated they could grab a piece or two. You can get creative with it. Good luck! |

Reason being, from my past experiences with Wal-Mart fundrasiing most people donate their extra change or a buck or 2. You don't have to put in more than money than you'll make. |

Oh my gosh- that's an awesome idea! Even better, throw some water wings on your arms while you're on the trainer- lol! |

They usually have a list, and you have to submit a letter or talk to a manager to be put on the list. It just depends onthe store and what the manager prefers. It's hard to get on the list though (or at least here it is). Once the Girl Scouts get their cookies they usually get all the spots! |
