Hello Family Teams!
March for Babies season is in full swing so I thought we could spend some time talking about what you and your team can be doing right now to reach your goal! Sometime reaching our goals can be daunting, but by combining a few different you and your team can be there in no time! Here are some methods used by teams on our Family Teams Committee that have worked over the years:
Coinboxes
Coinboxes are a great, easy way to involve your community. Ask your friends to help you reach your goal by handing them out in your neighborhood, at church or at work. Stop by the March of Dimes office to pick up coinboxes. Then, fill the box with
Any personalized items with your team name can help you fundraise as well as raise community awareness. Contact a local tshirt or wristband company, share your story, and ask for a discounted rate in return for their logo on your shirt or band. You can then sell the items to team members, friends and family to reach your goal!
Family Team Sponsorship
If you know someone who owns a small business, see if they would be interested in supporting you by being a Family Team Sponsor! Check out our previous post to learn about this easy way to fundraise.
Host an event
Many of our top teams from previous years have had a lot of success by hosting an event! You can put on a tournament, have a garage sale, or even host a party for your friends with companies like Thirty-One Gits (http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/ )!
Email and use social media
Emailing is probably the best way to reach out to your family and friends. All you have to do is share your story and ask for support! To make it easier to share your story through social media, you can make a video or picture slideshow.
Another great way to get people to your team page is to change your URL to your team name. To do this, follow the instructions below.
The last thing I will leave you with is a list of our Top 10 Family Teams for this week! Keep up the great work Family Teams!
If you have any questiosn regarding the fundraising methods listed above, please contact sbhat@marchofdimes.com. Check back next week to learn about a great incentive for veteran teams, walk details, tent information, and more!
