Fundraising
What sort of things can I do to raise funds?
- Ask your friends, workmates, neighbours, and family for donations;
- Organise a "Movie Night" at your place! Invite, colleagues, friends and family, in support of Colour Fun - A Walk for Suicide Prevention. Sell tickets ... offer snacks like popcorn and drinks, etc;
- Update your personal fundraising page online... share your story ... tell your iewers what they can expect from your stall on the event day;
- What about a "Good Old Fashioned Board Game Night"? Like the movie night, invite, colleagues, friends and family, in support of Colour Fun - A Walk for Suicide Prevention. Sell tickets ... offer snacks and maybe even small prizes for the winner;
- Colour Fun ... "Karaoke Style"! Make it a night of singing for suicide prevention and charge a donation per song. It will be a blast.
What sort of things can I do to reach my goal?
Have a stall of things to sell at your marquee or tent, at your allotted site - perhaps SH books, some craft, with a % going to Have Hope.
Use your imagination!
