Fundraising tips:

  1. Register Online http://www.firstgiving.com/idso/running-for-a-cause
  2. Set the number of laps you want to run / walk
    1. Remember each lap is a half mile. 
    2. The shorter course is less than a quarter of a mile.
  3. Start talking to friends and family to receive pledge money for each lap you run.
    1. If you run two laps at $20 per lap you would need 25 people to sponsor you to win the I-Pod Touch!

                          $20 per lap x 2 laps=$40 per sponsor x 25 sponsors= I-Pod Touch!
