Raise money.

Invite your friends and family for dinner, tea, documentary screening, or a dance party and ask for a suggested donation at the door, making your guests aware ahead of time why you’re hosting this time around! 

Running a race this year or next? Ask your supporters to donate ten for each mile you conquer!
