Fund Raising Idea #11....is actually the number one way to raise money.  It is also the easiest way to raise money.  I talked about this at the kick-off meeting, but if you missed the meeting....please know that it is soooo easy to ask for money via email.  Go to your personal page and log in.  Click on My Participant Center, then click on EMAIL.  You can then click on Ask for A Donation.  Now - here is the trick.....make it personal.  They have a TON of information in the email and please, feel free to write what YOU want.  I make mine short and sweet. Let's face it - people are busy and they want to get to the heart of the matter - which is....you are participating in Relay for Life and raising money to help American Cancer Society find a CURE.  There are all kinds of ways to import your mailing lists, but you do NOT want me to try and tell you how to do that :)  But....go for it - send out those emails.  Ask.  The number one reason that people say they do not donate????  They were not asked.  And, always stress that every little bit helps - the minimum online donation is only $10.00  And....it all adds up and it adds up to helping find a cure.
