Fundraising Tips

The beginning of a new school year is a great time to connect with

those you may not have seen over the summer months and a perfect

opportunity to recruit sponsors and walkers! Here are a few ideas:

- Bring brochures to fellow parents, teachers and school

administrators to recruit potential walkers for your team.

- Distribute copies of your letter to new contacts and local

businesses.

- Have your children hold a bake sale/lemonade stand, kid's " art "

sale, or miniature golf tournament.

Did you know…it is more than just a Walk?

It is also a super Family Fun Day and Resource Fair

This is an event for families living with autism where no one is

judged and everyone is accepted. Entertainment includes famous

pianist Jim Brickman signing autographs, moonbounces, facepainters,

magicians, famous mascots, Star Wars characters, WKYC - TV

personalities, kid-friendly music and so much more. The Resource

Fair will have vendors with services of interest to families affected

by autism. If you are an autism service provider and would like to

have a booth at our Resource Fair you can download an application

form now.

Did you know…about matching gift programs?

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any

charitable contributions made by their employees. If your company is

eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send

it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. The

impact of your gift to Autism Speaks may be doubled or possibly

tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.

Find out if your company has a matching gift policy

Thank You for your support of Autism Speaks. Walking together we'll

find the missing pieces!

If you have a great idea to share, or a question about the Walk

please contact us.

Sincerely,

The 2007 Cleveland and Northeast Ohio Planning Committee
