Step By Step Fundraising Newsletter Brought to you by

March 2005
I hope you are having a great week. I’ve been pretty busy, which
is why this newsletter is two days tardy.
There’s no time to waste now, so let’s dive in to this
month’s newsletter. It’s all about fundraisers that are
fun, unusual and some that are just plain weird!
As I mentioned in last month’s issue, I was on the planning committee
for a Valentine’s Casino Night fundraiser. My duty on the committee
was to plan the corporate sponsor program. I am quite happy to report
that because of our sponsors, our fundraiser event expenses were fully
covered. (I won’t take all of the credit, the other members of
the committee also solicited for sponsors, and some became sponsors
themselves!)

The other thing that has kept me busy is reading your success stories!
Several of the Step By Step Fundraising Newsletter readers have sent
in some incredible stories. I encourage you to check them out, celebrate
their successes, and find a few nuggets of wisdom for your own campaigns:
An elementary school on the Carribean island of Curaçao put on a fun
Carnival Event.
A high school in California raises money by daring teachers to Kiss
a Pig.
Eileen Angel walks 30 miles in the AVON
breast cancer walk.
And the strangest fundraisers yet, Cow
Bingo and Rooftop Camping.
Finally, If you are looking for Easter Fundraisers, there’s several
great Easter fundraising ideas in the news
section of the site, including:
** Breakfast with the Easter Bunny
** Chocolate Candy Sales
** AVON Fundraisers
** And more
Well, that’s enough reading to keep you all busy for awhile!
I hope you enjoy these
fundraising success stories as much as I did hearing about and writing
them.
Remember, I’m always open to hearing more.
Preview of Next Month’s Issue:
During the month of March I will be working on a redesign of the website!
When the
new design is launched on April 5th, you’ll see a new look, better
organized
sections, and RSS syndication (a new way get updates without email).
I’ll also be giving away over $100 in prizes, as a thank you
for giving your feedback
by completing a survey. Be watching for the next newsletter for details!
To Your Continued Fundraising Success,
