Fundraising Ideas for Any Cause

Do Something is all about ACTION, one awesome way to help a cause is by raising a little bank. If you are going to be raising $$ it is better to find a way that raises both funds and awareness about a cause. For example, it is better to get $1 from 100 people than it is to get $100 from 1 person, because it means that you have reached more people. So here are some ideas that can help you 'Fund-Aware Raise,' if we have missed any good ideas please email: clubs@dosomething.org
