BEYOND ONLINE FUNDRAISING
 
Spring Cleaning Declutter your life by holding a garage sale. Make posters to let people know that sales will support The Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

A Party with a Purpose
The goal of a “Party with a Purpose” is to introduce your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to your cause in a fun and social setting. Let them hear firsthand about why you are involved. You can host this event at your home, a restaurant, a bar or work. We will provide you with awareness materials. Ask guests to donate or buy a raffle ticket. Have fun!

Bowling for Dollars Arrange a time at a local alley, invite your friends, and have some fun. Set up a raffle or auction to raise more funds.                     

Going once, going twice Do you know a chef? Photographer? Musician? Ask your friends and family to donate items or services, or create your own. Sell tickets for a raffle, and make sure to let everyone know that the proceeds will support The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. You can even invite people for a live or silent auction.

Fundraising with Food Ask the manager at your local restaurant to donate a percentage of the day’s proceeds to support your fundraising efforts. Work with the restaurant to create a flyer and make sure to let everyone in your network know.

Host a Pampered Chef or other product party and donate a proceeds to The Brain Aneurysm Foundation.
 
Work it A participant organized a cut-a-thon at their salon. The proceeds from haircuts given on a special day were donated to The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. What type of fundraiser can your workplace do?

Dining for Dollars Host a dinner party, brunch, or lunch and ask guests to make a donation. Have a computer ready so they can give online, or collect cash and checks.
 
Baking for Bucks Let the smell of fresh baked cookies, cakes, and cupcakes entice your friends into giving, or get them all involved and hold a bake sale at your school, community center, or work.

Go Corporate
Ask your company to sponsor you. Some companies offer matching gift programs for contributions made by employees. If they do, contact your human resource director for more details. Put up posters and signs promoting brain aneurysm awareness. Distribute brain aneurysm awareness magnets and fact sheets.

Get Crafty Are you a great photographer, avid knitter, jewelry maker, or do your kids enjoy making projects? Sell your art to raise money or consider organizing a raffle or auction.

Don’t sweat it (or do) What better way to get ready for your BAF event, than with some healthy exercise? Whether it’s spinning, yoga, or dancing, ask you instructor to donate the fees from a specific class.

Celebrate Hope Do you have a birthday, graduation, anniversary, wedding or other special occasion coming up? In lieu of gifts, ask friends and family to make a donation to your personal fundraising page.

Casual or Kooky for the Cause Everyone likes an excuse to skip the school uniform or suit – especially when it’s to support a great cause. Promote a jean day, crazy hat, or maybe even a PJ day at work! Make sure it’s ok with your employer or school.
 
Change for Change Are pennies, nickels, quarters, and dimes weighing down your wallet? Set up a change jar at your home or in your office, and invite folks to lighten up by getting rid of their extra change. You’ll be surprised by how fast all those coins add up!

A little imagination goes a long way!
