When somebody sponsors you, thank them publicly by updating your status with a message of thanks. This not only lets that donor know how grateful you are for their kind donation, but also inspires others to donate!
5. Advertise your events
Create a Facebook event to invite all of your friends to your next Chevron Walk to End HIV fundraiser. Make it an open event so it appears in searches and so guests can send it to their friends.
6. Remember Matching Gifts
Many employers will match the charitable donations made by their employees. You may be able to double every donation you get!
7. Online Sale/Auction
Another great way to raise money using donated items is to hold a sale or silent auction using Facebook or Ebay. Sell things you don't need and dedicate the funds to the Walk.
