Okee so we discussed the predicament of how to raise money without people feeling creeped out that we might just be stealing from them. Something similar to Team in Training (TNT) like my mom and I raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
I shall look oh so much more into it, but just wanted to let you know I have two websites (links if you click the titles) in mind:
1. Team Compassion
This site looks REALLY good, like Compassion has already figured out a way to be like TNT and for whatever event you feel like doing. The only thing that I'm even considering as a slight negative is the money goes to The Medical Assistance Fund only. Of course I think this is great and really important, I just wanted to look into a "world hunger" approach also...but this is really awesome!
2. FirstGiving
This site is great too where you can customize the event and donation recipient. I like this because the money goes to Compassion as opposed to just the one fund; however, I would have to contact them to see really where the funds would be going.
So, yeah! Lots of contacting still to do, but I just thought this was cool and I would share!
Hey girl, I've been looking at these websites and it looks like Team Compassion is geared for competitive events. We could always race someone lol but I think they're looking more for people who are doing marathons or triathalons or something like that. FirstGiving looks good to me. It looks like we can set up our own event and track progress online. At the same time, donors will also be able to give money without being sketched out. It's definitely worth getting in contact with someone over there so we can get the ball rolling!
