Fundraising Ideas
Thank you for supporting this event and children with disabilities. Your support makes a daily difference in the lives of these children and their families.
Here are some other great ideas of how you can raise money and have fun doing it!
1. Guess the age of your boss:
Organize an event in which co-workers pay to guess the age of your boss – just make sure you’ve done the proper due diligence in advance!
2. Baby pictures:
Get your co-workers to bring in their baby pictures and set up a contest to see who gets the most right!
3. “In Lieu”:
Instead of receiving a gift on your birthday, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day or other occasion, ask your family and friends to make a pledge to you for Bike for Tykes! What a great cause!
