发挥创意:分享想法

Want to host a fundraiser that’s fun, engaging and memorable? Make the fundraiser your own! Think about what makes your team, workplace, organization or school unique. What do they do better than anyone else? Build a fundraiser, complete with goals and incentives, around what makes your group unique, and reflects how you collaborate and what motivates you.

CEO挑战: When you reach a goal for your fundraiser, have your top leader do a challenge like wearing a funny costume or singing at your next virtual meeting.

跳过咖啡或外出就餐: Encourage everyone to donate the cost of their morning coffee, a meal out or both to the fundraiser. You can even invite someone from Second Harvest to give a presentation during a lunchtime event.

社交媒体接管: Have a Second Harvest-focused “takeover” of your social media accounts by sharing content from our website, social media pages and your fundraising link.

加油: 鼓励支持者将在家工作中的燃料,里程和保险节省捐献出来,以支持Second Harvest。

  • 化妆比赛: 以食物为主题的比赛对此非常有用。

罚款捐款: If someone is late, their phone goes off in a meeting, or anyone commits any other office foul during the fundraiser, have them make a donation as a penalty.
