If you are a goal setter and a go-getter…
Organize a bike-a-thon, a pump iron-a-thon, a skate-a-thon, a walk-a-thon, a trash-a-thon, bowl-a-thon, jump-rope-a-thon, etc. Set a goal before you talk to your sponsors so that they can have an idea of how much they might need to contribute. Ask sponsors to pledge money for every mile you walk or ride, lift weights, skate, etc. Be sure you explain why you are fundraising, your motivations to study abroad, and details about AFS. Keep a sign-up sheet with the names of your sponsors and the amount they pledge. Be sure you collect the donations after the event and send thank yous to your sponsors.
