FUNDRAISING TIPS-The Do’s and the Dont's

1.IF YOU DON’T ASK-YOU CAN NEVER RECEIVE!
2.PEOPLE ARE MORE GENEROUS THAN YOU BELIEVE
3.MOST PEOPLE UNDERUTILIZE COMMUNITY RESOURCES


CANNING

1.AVERAGE AMOUNT COLLECTED RANGES FROM $25. TO $ 75. HOURLY
2.UTILIZE GOOD WEATHER-WHY WAIT UNTIL WINTER
3.FOOD STORES, LIQUOR STORES, DUNKIN DONUTS, ETC BEST TYPES
4.DO SHORT PERIODS OF TIME-AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS
5.ASK A LOCAL MERCHANT IF YOU CAN PUT A CAN AT THE REGISTER/SIGN
6.WHY NOT THE HOCKEY RINK?
7.WHY NOT HAVE A FRIEND HELP WHO IS NOT GOING ON THE TRIP AND SPLIT THEIR          CAN-ESPECIALLY HELPFUL AT FOOD STORES
8.BEST BETS-  YOUNGER PLAYERS, Dunkin Donuts in the AM  OLDER PLAYERS-Late               afternoon or early evening at liquor stores.

RAFFLE TICKETS

1.Collect any amount you can for books of tickets-but NOT individual tickets
2.Ask people to take books of tickets to work and sell them for you-they know people you will           never know
3.Try a hockey rink on a busy day, put up a sign, and say Hello to people.  A few years ago a            player, (Andrew Bond), went to the NESC and made arrangements to do this.  In one day               he sold 87 tickets at $5. each.  How’s your math? 

SPONSOR LETTERS

GREAT WINTER FUNDRAISER-DO NOT SEND LETTERS TO LARGE BUSINESSES.  THEY HAVE NATIONAL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS THEY DONATE TO: Instead,
utilize smaller businesses in your community, you will be amazed just how many there are.  My
suggestion is to send 6-8 letters on a Sunday Night,  then call or make a trip there on Wednesday-all they can say is no-DON’T BE AFRAID OF A “NO”

TIP OF THE DAY:  SOCIAL, CHARITABLE & FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS ARE THE LARGEST DONORS!
