 The Orphan's Bridge Shoreline 5k is a fundraiser.  Funds raised at this event will be used to support current Orphan's Bridge projects here in the front range of Colorado and orphanages in Mexico.  The funds may also be used in new expansion projects in India, Nepal, Sierra Leone or Central America.  Runners are encouraged to find sponsors that donate in support of their participation in the race.  As an incentive, prize awards will be given to the top fundraisers.

Here's how to gather sponsors

            1. Set a goal.  We suggest a starting goal of $500.

            2. Print the form and track your sponsors.

            3. Talk to people, write letters, email, use facebook and tell people about the race and the sponsorship opportunity.

            4. Collect the money as you go.  Bring the completed form and the donations the day of the race.  The donations will be tabulated during the race and prizes will be awarded at the ceremony following the race.

 

Fundraising Tips


A way that makes fundraising easier than you ever thought it could be.

  1. Ask acquaintances, co-workers for a gift of $10-$25. Ask friends and family for a gift of $25-$50.  Ask your company, your boss, or wealthy friends and family for $50-$100.  Ask your doctor, dentist, dry cleaner, any other business you visit frequently.
  2. Plan a fundraising party.  Have a cover charge or a suggested donation at the door.
  3. Get creative. Yard sales, car washes, bake sales, wine tasting party, a fashion show, a golf tournament.  Go crazy with your own ideas.
