What an awesome fundraising idea!
The director at the Make-a-Wish Foundation in San Francisco started a fundraising drive by soliciting pledges for each pound of weight she lost over a 12-week period. She created her own Facebook page to track her success and includes weekly updates with photos. Her goal is $7500 and she’s very close to reaching it.
If you’re not brave enough to do this on your own, consider getting a group of people together to commit to the weight loss goal. Each person can strive to reach their own fundraising goal, but you can promote the efforts throughout the community by mentioning that the group is raising money for your cause.
