Is there any one interested in donating? It would really help?

Question

Hi. My name is Sarah Anderson and I am a junior in High School in Florida. In a short while my school will be holding its annual Relay for Life which is an event that raises money for cancer. I creatded a team on my own and we arearticipating in this event however we have to collect $1000 in donations. I was wondering if you would be interested in donating to this cause. It is 100% profitable to the American Cancer Society and can help many people. If you are interested please email back so I can give you more information on donating. This link: http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeFloridaDivision?fr_id=8310&pg=entryWill direct you to the donation center on cancer.org so you can donate to our team using a credit card. Even the smallest donation would be greatly appreciated please take time to consider who you can help. Thank you.

Sounds like you could use some fund raising ideas:

1. Do a search online for free fund raising ideas, there thousands of them, pick the ones you can do quickly. (see below)

2. Post a blog entry about it.

3. Join some community and fund raising forums and website and post your message there.

4. Email your friends with the information and ask them to forward the email to others.

5. Post flyers with the information on bulletin boards and other charity sites.

6.  As for companies, it depends on the type of work you are doing.  Go for the big ones first, like Nike, Coke, Pepsi, etc, send them letters and ask for sponsorship, sometimes these companies just send out checks to folks!

7.  Then go to local companies, meet the owners face to face and explain your need and how it will benefit the local community.

Here are a few sites to get you in the mood for fund raising:
