Running 50k to Raise $50k
You know how we love finding some great fundraising ideas outside our team? We also love promoting them too! Here’s an interesting fundraising event that I found browsing through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Community Forums, and it’s quite a unique one. It’s titled, Running 50k to Raise $50k, planned by OC TNT’s Steve Chaparro. His goal this season is $50,000!
From his fundraising website,
“While I am training, I will be holding a major fundraising event called “Run 50k to Raise $50k”. This event will consist of a 50 km (31 miles) on a treadmill. RunRaise50k will occur at The Block at Orange on May 23, 2009. The event will also be broadcast live online. Supporters will be asked to donate onsite or online during the event. Also, several restaurants will be holding fundraisers on the same day in which they will donate a portion of their proceeds to LLS.”
