You really want to participate in RUN TO KICK but are afraid of never succeeding to fundraise €200? This page was WRITTEN for 💥 you 💥. This works for other fundraising occasions too 😉!

Getting started to fundraise is not as difficult as it seems 😉. For those of you who are afraid of asking their friends and family to donate, we have gathered here the best advice from the best world 🌍 experts on fundraising. After such an inspiring read, you will blow up your personal meter for sure!

Rule #1: remember that you are not asking for money but for a donation… and you are doing this because you want to help finance research to cure children with cancer. Not because you want to buy a jacuzzi.

Rule #2: evenly important. Tell you friends and family that ANY amount donated will make you super happy 🤙

Rule #3: you have to follow the RULES 👩‍⚖️

A nice request follows a very strict protocol that we are about to share with you:

• Send a personal message (Hello *Jack*).
• Choose a moment where your prospective donor is least likely to be busy (for young parents: avoid the evening bath time, for grandparents: shoot before their favourite TV show begins)
• Do not forget to include two key points in your message:
  • A donation of €40 or more will entitle your donor to a tax reduction of 45% of their donation.
  • The urgency: "donate me now because it takes less than 2 minutes! ⏱️ (and than it’s scrapped from your to-do list ✅)"

If you post your page on social media, don’t hesitate to specifically mention how much funds you still want to raise to achieve your goals. People love challenges! 🥳

If you are REALLY too embarrassed to ask for donations, take the long (indirect) road 🛣️.

A couple of examples:

• When you organise a dinner 🍝: tell your friends to donate on your page instead of bringing a bottle of wine 😅.
• If you are a great cook (or not, but keep that to yourself 🤐), bake cakes 🧁 and sell them to your neighbours or school parents, etc.
• Make your friends’ life easier by proposing to get you a birthday gift you truly long for: a donation on your page 🤩
• Sell DIY props (bracelets, candles... even if they are ugly 🤣) to your neighbours’ neighbours ✂️
• Organise a garage or a dressing sale to finance your page 💰
• Offer your services to wash a car 🚗 or mow the lawn 💪 for someone you know.

Ha and do involve your kids in this endeavour: who on earth would ever refuse such an important plea from your little angel? 👼

You can do this, we believe in you 🫵 !

Thank you ❤️
