Do your Own {Fun}draising

Here are some ideas that might help you raise a little cash to help us help these vulnerable families:

• Shovel snow/cut grass for your neighbors for a small fee
• Babysit for families
• Have a dinner party and ask your guests to donate to the cause in exchange for a home-cooked meal
• Have a car wash event
• Have a bake sale
• If your religious congregation is looking for a cause to support, suggest they help with displaced refugees in Syria
• Suggest a class project to learn about Syria and perhaps have a public talk and charge a small admission fee
• Sewing circles and knitters’ clubs might wish to donate, perhaps selling what they have made
• Do a walking event (for dog owners, for seniors who keep fit by walking, for general invite to the community) to raise money
• Do you have a Syrian friend? Would they possibly like to give a brief talk or perhaps cook or, better still, teach a little Syrian food class and raise money with a small fee?
• Calling all bridge clubs, Mah Jongg clubs, bowling enthusiasts (bowl-a-thons are fun!!), other hobbies that include other people that may like to pledge per game
• Have a sale of old household goods you no longer want or need
• Encourage children to sell their old toys they’ve outgrown to help raise money
