MS Bike is more fun when you and your teammates are working toward a specific goal or set of goals. Goals give you something to focus on and get excited about, plus a real sense of accomplishment when you meet your targets. Your individual and/or team goals will vary, but here are some ideas to get you started.
• Aim for a specific fundraising amount. Set a team or individual fundraising goal. For extra motivation, check out the fundraising prizes you can claim at each fundraising level.
• Aim for a specific number of team members. If you currently have four team members (an official team!), why not aim for ten by event day?
• Aim for a specific number of donors. Rather than focusing on a specific dollar amount, you might instead try to reach out to as many of your friends, family members and colleagues as possible.
• Hold a fundraising event. Successfully pull off a fun and creative fundraising event like a garage sale, carwash, pancake breakfast or bake sale.
For a little extra challenge add new goals as you complete the ones you originally set. Once you have ten team members, why not try to make it fifteen? If you’ve already raised your minimum fundraising amount of $300 by February, why not go for $1000 and add some great gift cards and a special MS Bike jersey by July? The sky’s the limit if you work together with teammates, family, friends and colleagues!
Once you’ve set a goal, make a plan for how you will accomplish it. If it helps, assign certain team members certain responsibilities, or set monthly targets. Check in frequently over the coming months to make sure you’re on track to meet your goal, and to come up with new ideas and strategies. Don’t let event day sneak up on you and catch you unprepared!
