Fundraising: Helpful Tools
- A great way to raise funds is to send a letter to your family and friends. The sample letters below will give you a good idea as to what to put in your letter. Feel free to use as much or as little of it as you would like to. Also, providing a self-addressed stamped envelope is a great way to increase the number of donations received!
- Then, after the race, you can use this sample thank-you letter to let everyone know how much you appreciate their support.
- If you have people who would like a receipt for their donations, you can use this form to provide them with a receipt.
