“A-thons” are a popular way to raise funds for your community, build a community of support and raise awareness of your cause. Participants take pleges for every increment of the activity that they do. Some “A-thon” ideas include:
· Read-a-thon

· Sculp-a-thon
· Draw-a-thon

· Canoe-a-thon
· Frisbee-a-thon
· Bat-a-thon
· Dunk-a-thon
· Hop-a-thon

As always, be creative. Ideas linked to your organization’s mission may be especially successful (e.g. read-a-thon in a school or literacy organization).
And here’s yet another a-thon idea…pool-a-thon. No, it’s not in a pool – it’s playing pool. Check out this link to read more about the event.
