FUNDRAISING TIPS

• Write a personal note of thanks to each sponsor. This will be particularly helpful when you ask for their support in the following year.
• Ask local community groups such as churches and rotary clubs to support you. Make a presentation at their next meeting and hand out pledge forms.
• In lieu of gifts on your birthday or other occasion, ask friends and family to make a pledge to your ride.
• When you ask someone to donate to charity, you are giving them an opportunity to do something good for others, and, in turn, feel good about themselves.
• Start early and have fun!

VERMONT HUNGER FACTS

• Because of the tenuous economy, hunger is on the rise in Vermont. Most of the agencies served by the Vermont Foodbank have seen a 25-30% increase in the number of people accessing their services.
• One in every ten Vermonters is at risk of hunger- this equates to 20,000 children statewide.
