Why Fundraise?

Fact: The money you raise makes a difference. Just $35 provides clean drinking water for one person - for life!

Some fundraising tips:

1. Send a letter or email to friends, family or colleagues.  Tell them that a tax deductible donation of $175.00 can provide water for 5 needy people – for life.  Or depending on your audience or fundraising goals, tell them that every contribution makes an impact.  But remember that asking for a specific amount is always an effective strategy.

2. Host a dinner or movie night at your house.  Invite friends or family and ask them to donate what they would have spent if they had gone out.

3. Change the outgoing message on your cell phone or landline, letting people know that you are fundraising for the Run.
