Yoga Fundraiser
Do you take an exercise class often? Ask the teacher to donate the proceeds from a class. Or ask them to set up a one time class just for you and ask your friends to come. The teacher not only being a very special volunteer, but will be introduced to potential new students.
Awards Show Party
Turn your Oscar Party, Grammy’s, Tony Awards party into a NAMIWalk fundraiser. Sell ballots to see who can predict the most winners and give a prize for whoever guesses the most winners. Charge a cover to attend the party! You set the dollar amount. Donate the proceeds to your NAMIWalk fundraising.
Hold a Garage Sale
Ask everyone you know to donate items to your sale. Donate all the proceeds to your walk fundraising or advertise that everything is free with a donation to your NAMIWalk effort. People will often write a check because it is tax-deductable for more than they would normally pay for the item.
Restaurant Fundraiser
Many restaurants will donate 10% – 20% of the check receipts if you sign up with them for a certain date.
