Fundraising Tip #10 – Exercise Challenge: Get in shape while earning pledges!


Preparing for MS Bike is the perfect opportunity to promote the health and well-being of you and your entire team. You can even have your efforts pay off in the form of pledges to reach your fundraising goal! Ask potential donors to pledge a certain amount of money for every kilometre (or other increment of your choice) that you cycle in preparation for the Tour. This can be a terrific team-building initiative by creating some healthy competition. All team members can pledge a small amount for each kilometre that the team totals together. Not only will you be adding to your fundraising, you will all gain a great sense of camaraderie by staying fit and pedaling towards your fundraising goal together.  

Does this challenge sound too easy for you? Why not take this a step further by raising funds for kicking bad eating habits as well. Every team member can decide on a guilty pleasure food item that they are willing to give up from now until event day. If anyone gets the craving for his/her food item, he/she can pay a set amount (that can be decided ahead of time) in order to indulge with the chosen treat.
