Getting sponsored online is a great way to fund-raise, you can collect donations via iDontate.ie by setting up your own fundraising page. Use the link which is in the email sent automatically to registered walkers when they have paid their sign up fee of €50.

However, You need to ASK your friends, workmates and relatives to sponsor you. Don't expect anyone to Sponsor you unless you ask for it! This is true for both online sponsorship and offline sponsorship.

Ask for the Sponsorship! The very worst that can happen is that one or two might just say no! Most people will be delighted you asked 🙂

By now you should have received your sponsorship card sent to all registered walkers - a very useful tool for getting donations, again, just ASK for it. Remember this is for a really worthwhile cause.

Tell the world and its brother/mother/sister that you are fundraising for People with Special Needs. Tell everyone you know. Get them to tell everyone that they know too!

Use social media, texts, leaflets and posters

Get everyone to agree and put a swear box in the office!

Here are a few more ideas: Car washing, Bingo Night, Charity concert, Sports match, Talent show, Dress down Day, Skills auction
Go without drinking, eating sweets, texting, talking or ..... for a day, or longer!

These are just a few of ways that should help the money to come rolling in -there is loads of time yet and the funds are much needed.

Good luck! Always remember - each donation really does make a difference to people in our community.

Just ASK for Sponsorship!
