Think you're done? Think again! There's still time to give your fundraising a boost AND every extra dollar you raise brings us closer to life-changing cancer research breakthroughs. Here are five simple (and fun!) ideas to help you hit your next milestone and make your Longest Table a force for good.
1. Donate your lunch money
Skip the cafe sandwhich and coffee for one day and donate what you'd usually spend on lunch. Better yet, share your fundraising page link with your colleagues and invite them to join in. A whole office skipping takeaway for one day? That could mean hundreds of dollars towards research.
2. Get Crafty
Are you handy with a glue gun, sewing machine, or paintbrush? Create something special - candles, quilts, even baked goods and ask friends and family to donate what they think your creation is worth. It's a thoughtful way to raise money and share your talents at the same time.
3. Confirm your spot
Hosting a table? Ask your guests to RSVP with a donation! It's a simple way to build your fundraising total before event night PLUS guests will feel good knowing they've already made a difference before they even sit down. If someone can't attend, ask them to donate instead!
4. Share your story
Your reason for hosting could inspire someone esle to give. Tell your story on social media, in a school newsletter, or even in your local community group. Let people know why raising funds for cancer research matters to you and include your fundraising link. You'll be surpised how many people will want to support your case.
5. Make it fun
Turn fundraising into a game. Host a mini raffle, do a cheeky dare jar, or challenge your guests to match your self-donation. The more fun you make it, the more people will want to jump in and contribute
