Ok so now you have seen the picture I will explain. I am on a Relay For Life team. (There is going to be much more about this later...) I seen this on Relay Nation and a friend of mine was doing it to. It has to be the greatest fundraiser of all time.
What you need...
A Power Wheels Car - this could be a car, truck, "hummer", John Deer Tracker (pictures coming soon on that one.) or any power wheels.
Business to sponsor the car - I asked local business plus my husband and I each own our own businesses for $20 a piece. Other people I know asked for $25 or so. I put an "advertisement" (I said it that way because it is like a adv. when you are telling to sell the idea to people.) on Facebook and it took off. I had families donate money and then I had the son of the lady that we are Relaying for give us money and he said he wanted it in Memory of Mary Lara. <great idea by the way!!
Decals of the names of the companies that donated - Now I have a good friend (I have met during this Relay season. She also Relay's in a different county.) who help with this part. But if you ask a business to donate the stickers then they don't have to donate the money for it. See win win!!
Tickets - I just had them write their name and number on the back of a ticket. They would always ask "Why?" I would say "So I can call you when you win." They would laugh.
Now you need a good spill... - Here is what I said.."Oh you need that for your kids. It's a great Christmas Gift to have ready to go under the tree." "Oh you don't have kids or grand kids or nieces or nephews, well you could just donate it to the Child's Hospital in Oklahoma City. That is where my cousin was when he was getting his treatment for cancer. He was only 4 years old." By now they have bought 3 to 5 tickets.
The last thing you need is a drawing day... I have had some people say they want to be there but I tell them they don't have to be. I am going to draw it at my business and then call the person with lots of YAHOO's in the background.
This is super easy and super fun. I now have a John Deer Tracker that I will be raffling off at the first of the year all the way until the night of our "AWESOME" relay. (will explain the AWESOME part next time.) Picture will be coming of the John Deer in the weeks to come. One business donated all the money for this one. That is another way to do it...
Til next time,
<3
