1. Set a goal for the team ($100 x # of walkers). The more Bright Lights (walkers who raise $1,000 or more), the bigger the fundraising goal!

2. Have a big team? Recruit co-captains to help you get organized — make sure you have every walker send emails to their contact list asking for donations.

3. Hold a Team Kick Off. The more your team understands how important the funds are for our mission, the easier asking for donations becomes.

4. Ask! Be a shining example to your team—FUNDRAISE—set that goal high!

5. Interested in having a Fundraiser? They are fun for all and can be easy too — contact your local Light the Night staff for case studies and examples.
