A wonderful way to raise money.....email and even the old fashioned way.....mail!  The Relay web site makes it very, very easy to send out emails asking for donations.  And....they make it very easy to send thank you emails, which is so very important.  Can't think of who to ask?  Here is a list that we found and a quick way to get FORTY NAMES FAST.....   Here you go....

Come up with five names from each of these categories & you will have forty people!
1.  Family Friends
2.  Neighbors
3.  Dentists/Doctors/Barber/Hair Dresser
4.  Former Teachers/Church Members/Coaches
5.  Immediate Family
6.  Extended Family
7.  Friends
8.  Co-Workers/Fellow Students

You may not know five from each category, but you get the general idea.  We read an article one time that said "the number one reason that people do not donate to a cause is they were never asked".  And, the best part is.....you do not need to ask for a lot of money - just what they can and would like to give.  It all matters and it all makes a difference.  If they are unable to donate, that is fine too - maybe they will come to Relay or at least just be happy to know about what you are doing and why!
