From time to time we run into a cause that takes all our passion which rolls it into a big ball of fuzzy love called a fundraiser. We all want our fundraisers to be a success, we all want your fundraiser to be a success too. But that does not mean we will donate. How to get a sure donation? One way is to hold an event some ideas are, bake sales, rummage sales, formal dinners are always fun as well as informal dinners. Another absolute for successful fundraising is stewardship, no successful fundraiser was was ever on the shy side, if you do tend to be a little on the shy side, let your passion do the talking! Speaking from the heart about the thing you are passionate about and others will feel your empathy and donate. Determination and perseverance will also hold great rewards for your cause.
