Hike
How to Plan a Hiking Fundraiser
If you are located near a national park, river or lake, mountain or scenic trail, organize a group outing. Map out your hike using materials from your local venue. Request a donation per mile hiked, and/or provide a guide, water and snacks for participants and create an entry fee/donation per participant.
Indoor Cycling
How to Plan an Indoor Cycling Fundraiser
Ask your gym to schedule a special indoor cycling class. Participants can track their mileage and request a donation per mile cycled, or set an entry fee/donation for others to ride with you.
Outdoor Cycling
How to Plan an Outdoor Cycling Fundraiser
Organize a road ride, trail ride or bike tour, and invite others to join you. Participants can track their mileage and request a donation per mile cycled, or set an entry fee/donation for others to ride with you.
Run
How to Plan a Running Fundraiser
There are many different ways to fundraise by running. Challenge long-distance runners to a full marathon, or plan shorter races to increase turnout, such as a 10K or 5K. Set up a relay race for younger participants so that all age groups can participate. Have an entry fee/donation or donate by lap or half-mile.
Swim
How to Plan a Swimming Fundraiser
Whether you race in a lap pool or spend a day at the beach, you can raise dollars by challenging your family and friends to setting a new record or completing the most laps. Create multiple lanes so that all age groups can participate.
Walk
How to Plan a Walking Fundraiser
Organize a group walk-a-thon, such as a 10K. This can be a dog walk, a stroll through a historic neighborhood or simply a path through town. Ask others to donate per "lap" (whether that is a track lap, city block or other measured distance), or set an entry fee/donation per person for participating.
Workout
How to Plan a Workout Fundraiser
Practice kickboxing, cross-training and more with a day of working out! Set an entry fee/donation per class, whether it is a 60-minute barre class or a cardio session. Ask others to participate with you or make a donation per calorie burned!
Yoga & Pilates
How to Plan a Yoga Fundraiser
Embrace exercise through a peaceful day of focused yoga or Pilates practice. Research local studios or instructors interested in providing a space, or locate a public place where you can gather for different levels of practice, from beginner to advanced. Accept donations per class session, or ask the instructor to donate their proceeds from the day.
