The
event was a huge success. Pledges
were raised by 79 students during a four week campaign, following the
kickoff. The expenses for hosting the
bike ride were minimal and on the day of the big event, our small k-8 school
had raised roughly $23,000 in cash donations from the community and local
businesses as well as over a thousand dollars of in-kind donations, food,
beverages, services and prizes.
It
was apparent that event based fundraising was a real winner. We decided that this concept could be used
to help any group. But first, we
needed to provide a solution that could be replicated by any organization and
provide baseline consistency year after year regardless of persons serving on
the committee.
First,
we created the trademarked fundraising events; Fun Run for Pride®, Bike Ride
for Pride® and Walk for Pride®. Then
we invested in the on-line technology and marketing materials to support
these events and developed a step-by-step guide for implementing our
resources into your unique fundraising event.
We encourage small groups, schools, churches and
emergency responders to license our trademarked fundraising
events and use our technology,
marketing
materials and know-how
to host a signature fundraising event where you can keep as much as 90% of
the profits after expenses.
We are committed to keeping our overall fees
low so you can rely on our solutions to streamline your fundraiser and
maximize your proceeds with a successful fundraising campaign that energizes
participants, students, parents and community.
There is no better show of Pride in your community,
school, church or organization than to give of your time and efforts to
achieve a common goal. Let us help
you, reach those goals.
Sincerely,
Shannon L. Godwin
Executive Director
