Six Creative Ways for Individuals to Give

$5...$10...every dollar makes a dent in my $3000+ fundraising commitment. Please consider giving anything you can afford. Following is a list of ways to increase your gift at no cost to you, ease the burden of giving all at once, and some creative ways to honor people you know affected by cancer.

1. Before you give, check with your employer; many companies have Matching Gift programs that will double your contribution! If your employer offers this, I will guide you through the process.
2. Give over time - the Komen donation system allows you to set up four equal installments. $10 or $25 per month (the cost of one dinner out) over four months really makes a difference!
3. Donate $1 for every mile (60) I will walk and I'll add your name or the name of someone you want to remember to my shirt, shoes, pink tutu, pink wig, wherever you choose (safety considered) during the 3-Day.
4. Donate $2 for every mile (60) I will walk and I'll add the picture of someone you wish to remember to an article of clothing or in the form of a temporary tattoo someplace (visible!) on my person during the walk.
5. Donate $10 or $20 per day I will walk (3) in honor of someone you know who has been affected by cancer.
6. If you are an artist or a musician, donate your work or time for a fundraiser I'm planning for October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month). Email me for details.

If you have other creative ideas for individual giving, please add a comment here or email me. If you want to make a contribution by check instead of online, contact me (checks must be received before October 2nd in order to be applied to my $3,000 goal).

Six Creative Ways for Businesses, Artists, Musicians to Give

Thousands of people participate in the Phoenix 3-Day, and thousands more come out to cheer us on. Below are a few ideas for donating creatively if you are a business owner, artist, or musician, but I'm always open to suggestions!

1. Place your logo on my tent, on this blog, or on my t-shirt during the 3-Day for one day for a $100 donation.
2. Have your business verbally acknowledged during all of my public activities related to the 3-Day for a $250 donation.
3. I will wear your logo on the full back of my t-shirt for one full day of the 3-Day for a $500 donation.
   
4. Donate your space, food, music, or time for a breast-oriented fundraising event I'm planning in October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month). Email me for details.
   
5. Donate products, services, art, music, poetry, etc., for an auction I'm holding in conjunction with the October fundraiser (it will begin online). Email me for details.
   
6. Donate a percentage of sales some night during which I guest bartend (I have experience) or DJ (my musical knowledge is crazy and I have the evidence to prove it!). Contact me.
   

Really, throw out any idea and I will listen.
