Fun Ideas From Others
Here are some creative ways that people have raised JustADollarPlease.
• A family on Staten Island has a JustADollarPlease.org jar on their hardward store counter. (Don’t own a store? Tell the story to your favorite restaurant, beauty salon, hardware store, pharmacy and ask them to become a ‘Business Buddy’ and put out a container.)
• Lana used to eat a candy bar every day. She gave that up to join the ‘Dollar A Day Support Squad”.
• Plan an event where everyone brings dollars … your birthday or anniversary, Get Away from the Snow, Halloween ‘Trick or Treat’. Use your imagination.
• "No Birthday Presents, Please." For his 7th birthday, Daniel asked party attendees forego presents for him and bring gifts for JustADollarPlease.org. Thank you Daniel!
• Hold a bingo party or Wii Air Guitar contest with donations of dollars to participate in.
• Tell people what you are doing … and ask them for JustADollarPlease.
• Talk to local newspapers, radio stations and television stations about the Moms trying to raise a Million and how you are helping to get stories and airtime.
