-
Start today. Ask someone who can’t say no.
-
Be a conversation-starter. Carry your Obliteride swag with you and be ready to tell your story.
-
Part of a team? Work together to fundraise.
-
Make multiple fundraising posts on social media. Most of your followers don’t see every post.
Inspire your donors to give more by offering incentives at different gift levels, for example:
-
Dedicate a mile to someone of your donor’s choice.
-
Wear a silly (but safe!) article of clothing during your ride, walk, or run.
-
Write your donor’s name or that of their loved one on yourself or your bike during the ride.
-
Cook your donor a special dinner or batch of cookies.
-
Video yourself singing a silly song of your donor’s choice at the Finish Line.
throw a party (with a fee)
With suggested donations and entry fees, you can raise a lot of money through parties and events. Set up a laptop or tablet so donors can use a credit card to give directly to your fundraising page. Some ideas:
|
Dinner party |
Champagne brunch |
Wine tasting |

Cocktail party |
Treasure hunt |
Chili cook-off |
|
Cookie bake-off |
dessert raffle party |
Poker night |
|
Guided bike tour |

Art-making
party & auction |
get the neighborhood involved
-
Ask a local restaurant to donate 10% of profits on a designated night.
Get your supporters fired up by offering them a chance to win a prize as they help you cure cancer faster! Consider holding a monthly raffle ― a donation that month is the entry ticket ― or incorporating a raffle into an event. Some ideas:
|
wine or beer |
homemade desserts |
|
chocolate |
sports tickets |
