How do I get started?

Let’s walk through the many ways to jump-start your fundraising into something that you will feel passionate and purposeful about. The most important thing to remember is if you don’t ask…you won’t get a donation! Your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors want to help you, especially if they know how your No Barriers experience has transformed your life. Here are a few ideas:

• Fundraising is just that…FUN! Fundraising doesn’t have to be the door-to-door “Will you give me money” ask? No way! FUNdraising is all about YOU. What do you like to do to have FUN? We guarantee you can turn that into a fundraiser.
• Just ask! Have you ever really spent a minute to tell your friends and family what you are passionate about, whether its in person or online? Once they hear what motivates you and inspires you, they are going to have a hard time saying “no”, when you ask them for a donation! So use your address book, your Facebook friends list, your Twitter followers and ask them to support the same great cause you do!
• Do you love to Golf? You can definitely host a golf tournament that would bring together supporting foursomes for a great cause.
• Do you love Classic Cars? A classic car show can be a wonderful way to spread awareness and raise money.
• Do you love to bake cakes? There is always bake sales, cake walks, bake offs-so many options to bring together friends, family, and co-workers to invest in your mission.
• So many more…whatever your interests, whatever your passion, whatever you find yourself doing on the weekend can be turned into a fundraiser.
