Tips for raising $1,000 for AIDS Walk LA
Thank you for being a part of AIDS Walk Los Angeles. Now the fun part begins: raising the funds that will support over 22,000 people affected by HIV/AIDS in LA County. If you’re looking for a fundraising goal this year, we suggest a nice, cool thousand bucks.
WHY $1,000?
They say to shoot for the moon because even if you miss, you land amongst the stars. That’s where our Star Walkers are – individuals who have raised over $1,000 during AIDS Walk LA. It’s more important than ever to set your sights high, so here are some tips for how you can raise $1,000 and become a Star this year.
1.
Look in the mirror. See that beautiful, smiling face staring back at you? Ask it to kickstart your fundraising efforts with $50.
TOTAL: $50
2.
Think of the two family members you love the most. Turn that love into a cool hundred bucks by asking each to sponsor you for $50.
TOTAL: $150
3.
Ask your bestie to contribute $50 by promising to promote them to BFF.
TOTAL: $200
4.
Keep the conversation going and ask the 5 most recent people you’ve texted or snapped with to contribute $10 each.

5.
Get on Instagram and offer to shoutout 5 of your follower’s business or artistic ventures in exchange for $20 each.

Take that boss energy into your next office conference call and ask 5 co-workers to contribute $20 each.

See if your company offers Matching Gifts for charitable donations. If they do, tell them you donated $50 (remember step 1) and watch it magically double.

Got a big donor? Ask if they will match your next four $25 sponsors.
