Hi All,
Just letting you know that I have just tipped over the $7,000 mark - nearly 1/3 of the way to my target!
Just thought I'd share some of my fundraising efforts with you and how I have been going.
1) Firstly I thought I would ask for donations from the good folk in the MySwag Community
I tried another forum too but my post lasted all of 5 minutes before it was deleted and I had a PM from Admin saying they don't allow such things!!
2) I sent letters to all the business contacts I have, everyone from who I deal with through work, places I have purchased cars and campers from, hairdresser, physio etc etc
3) Facebook - is good at just getting a consistent message out there and it prompts people who say 'I must get around to giving John a donation'
4) I made up some corflute signs and stood outside the railway station on football game day to catch the supporters on the way to Adelaide Oval. This was quite successful so we will see if the Power fans are as supportive this weekend. Last weekend the Crows played St. Kilda and many Saints fans were also very very obliging. I must say, having the boys there to assist helps as they certainly have the 'pull factor'
5) As some of you may be aware, I am a real estate agent so all those leaflets you get in your letterbox - well I do them too. However I am also advertising my BCT fundraising effort on the back of them
6) I have written a letter to all my past clients that have bought or sold from me asking for their support too
7) I have even made up a sticker to put on my office window as we are on a corner and many cars pass by everyday
8 ) I have made up a flyer to display at my open inspections with little business card size 'How to Donate' cards which people can take away with them. I also carry these cards with me when I go out on my bike rides and hand them out to other cyclists that I speac to about the BCT.
So, there is quite a lot that I am trying to do to be able to reach my $25,000 target.
