Pro Tips
Restaurant nights are a great way to easily enhance fundraising. Check to see which of your local
restaurants oer a percentage back to schools/groups and consider scheduling some dine-out/take-out
nights that you can promote within your community.
1. Up the ante by adding fun incenves to help movate everyone on the way to your fundraising goal.
Need ideas? Your Make-A-Wish sta partner can help!
2. Selling T-shirts? If possible, try to get supplies and print services donated (or at a discount).
Take orders/collect funds in advance to help cover costs. Another opon would be to use a service like
customink.com, a “one-stop shop” for T-shirt sale fundraisers.
3. Invite other groups/clubs to help make wishes come true! They can help promote your Wish Your Way
page, parcipate in Virtual Wish Week and/or host fundraisers of their own.
