What is the best way to raise money, from companies, for one of the many charities that has walk-a-thons?

Question

My wife is battling breast cancer & wants to do both the Susan Komen and the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this year... Her goal is to raise $50,000 for each charity, this year!

So, I think some type of short letter requesting donations from big businesses with the 501(c)3 information and the corporate address for the charities will do the trick...

But I think I need some better direction with this big goal...

Answer 1

i sent out emails to people, and raised 11,500 in only a few weeks. good luck!

Answer 2

Tell her story to business. There are lots of food company's (like Coke cola) that donates to things like breast cancer. And do some fundraiserers, also ask friends and family to donate or help fundrais.
