First things first.
1. ASSEMBLE YOUR TEAM
Many things are better done together. And fundraising is one of those. Find up to 9 like-minded kindred-spirited folk who can join you in raising funds for this great cause. Consider asking members of your family, your friends, or co-workers. Or perhaps this is the perfect thing to gather and inspire your church small group this fall.
