Inspiration for Fund Raising

If you need ideas or inspiration for fund raising take a look at what Hannon Young, who is going with us to Peru this summer, said about her fund raising efforts (last week she sent in over $1,000 she received in donations in just over one month):

"Much of my fundraising was inspired by the sample letters on the HEFY website. My mom and sister helped me type up labels of all the families who receive our Christmas letter. They were a great help stamping and licking all the envelopes:) It was really a group effort in the end- and a lot of fun. The best part, though, was opening the mailbox to find a Peru letter almost every day for a solid two weeks. I was really touched by how quickly people responded. It made me realize that people really do want to be involved and make a difference, sometimes all you have to do is ask."

Great job Hannon! We know that everyone can follow your example. You can find more information on how to fund raise, including the sample letters that Hannon used, on our website.
