Team Fundraising Info and Ideas

A great way to raise additional money for your team is to get everyone involved by setting a goal and coming up with creative and fun ways to reach that goal! There are lots of ideas for team fundraisers including:

Special events
Holding a social or special event where all team members can invite their friends and family is a very popular way for teams to fundraise. There are many ideas including, block parties, murder mysteries, game or trivia nights and silent auctions.

Sporting tournaments
Holding sporting tournaments such as hockey, baseball, bowling, golf or even virtual video game tournaments are a fun and active way for people to raise money and get involved.

Matching gifts
Team members should inquire with their employer to see if the company will match the dollars raised by their team.

Online Fundraising

Fundraising online is a quick and convenient way to reach out to your supporters, family and friends.
Customizing your own personal page and your teams page will ensure your personal BRIGHT Run message and reason for participating is there for everyone to see.
A personal message results in more connections, greater awareness and increased donations for BRIGHT Run.
Online fundraising tools are also available which connect directly with social media sites like Facebook and Instagram.

In-Person Fundraising

Fundraising in person by collecting donations is another way to reach your goal.
BRIGHT RUN pledge forms can be downloaded and printed to keep track of your donations.
