In Jan 2007 I joined Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training for the Lake Tahoe ride. This is my 1st fundraising. I have been reading thru some posts here for fundraising ideas. I have a few ideas I am considering. I am looking for some opinions.
First I have organized a rummage sale. I have advertised, some, for public donations. I am not sure how much stuff to expect. My thought is to charge a price per bag(grocery store size) for clothing. How much should I charge?? Is $4 too much?? Probably will lower the price on the second day, even thought of lowering at a certain times each day. Last couple hours cheap!! Should I mark other items?
Any ideas or tips?
Second idea is to buy a few prizes and sell raffle tickets for the items outside of a local department store on a saturday. Do you think people will buy tickets? I read in a post about setting up a bike on a trainer. I would feel a little silly but it will be a big training day. I guess it would get peoples attention. What do ya think?
Third idea is a ride between a few of the local pubs/bars. Any fun ideas on how to raise money while at each establishment??
My goal of $5000 seems intimidating. I am getting worried about making it.
Thanks! Sparky
