Ask a Rider Series Q: "I love to ride and participating in this event, but I'm not an experienced fundraiser. Any tips to help?" A: Start with what you know! Think about small businesses, like restaurants, that you love and support and ask if they'd be willing to host a fundraiser in support of Moveable Feast. Usually restaurants are willing to contribute around 20% of sales on a particular night, especially a night that's typically a bit slow because a fundraiser will bring more people in - a win, win! Facebook is another great way to appeal to your family and friends. Host a FB fundraiser and encourage friends to share the event even if they can't donate to increase the amount of people who can contribute to your effort. Finally, don't be shy about reaching out to Community Engagement Manager, Angie Kelley! She's a great resource and available to you for support.
