| 1. |
Draft a committee of helpful volunteers (your friends, sorority you match with, etc.) to help in the endeavor. |
| 2. |
Start with a budget. Decide how much money your group would like to fundraise. This will help keep you goal-oriented and your committee focused on the mission. |
| 3. |
Set a schedule to give people time to collect donations and give yourself time to plan! Check into other events in your area to avoid scheduling on the same day. |
| 4. |
Set up specific dates and stick to them. Have participants turn in money prior to the event. |
| 5. |
Do your best not to spend anything on this event - get things like T-shirts, bottled water, etc. donated through you or your committees' contacts. |
| 6. |
Set a minimum fundraising amount to participate in the walk. |
| 7. |
Create a donation collection envelope. |
| 8. |
Make checks payable to "Huntsman Cancer Foundation" and instruct those walking in your event to turn them in to you PRIOR to your event-this is important as we've seen too many event managers rely on turn in AT the event, and there is no guarantee of the donations then and you won't have an idea of who has fundraised enough to participate. |
| 9. |
Remember why you are doing this - many will opt to walk on behalf of someone who has been touched by cancer-this will help inspire others to give. |
| 10. |
Recruit team captains - not only individuals, and your event will grow larger faster. |
