As a Team Captain and/or walker have you thought
about FUN ways to build Teams and/or to raise funds this year? Of course you
can ask someone to join your Team and/or donate to you the traditional ways –
face-to-face, email, over the phone, online social networks. However, have you
thought about using your talents for out
of the box ways to engage people?
Here are some FUN ideas that you can do as an
individual walker or as a Walk Team:
- Rock On! If you know musicians, ask them to perform a benefit concert at a backyard BBQ, block party, or local club. The admission ticket is a check made payable to NAMIWalks.
- Birthday: In lieu of a gift for your birthday, ask your friends and family to make a donation to NAMIWalks through your personal NAMIWalks website.
- Gym: Ask your gym if you, or they, can teach an aerobics, yoga, or spinning class as a benefit to NAMIWalks.
- House Party: Host a house party for friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors. Share your experience with NAMIWalks and your reasons for walking. Ask them to join your Team.
- Make holiday ornaments: Make special ornaments and sell them for donations.
- Mow-a-thon: Hold a neighborhood mow-a-thon weekend where you and your family will mow everyone’s lawn for a minimum donation.
- Runner: Offer to be a friend’s errand runner or personal assistant for a day, in exchange for a substantial donation.
- Garden Tour: Hold a garden tour at your home or at a local historical home.
