Polar Plunge Fundraising tips: Customize your fundraising page. Add pictures of yourself or the athletes you're supporting. Change the wording to explain why plunging is so fun and worth the chill. Choose wisely. Your older relatives might appreciate a letter, while your more tech-savvy friends might respond best to an email. Think about how each person typically communicates with you and then ask that way. It might even mean making a phone call.Shout it from the glacier! Or maybe just your computer. Get the word out to near friends far and near by posting on Facebook and Twitter. Be sure to link to your personal fundraising page to make it easy for them to donate. Share this video. Fundraising is more fun with friends! Get a group of friends, family or coworkers to join you in the icy cold waters. You'll bond over experiencing this adrenaline rush, and you'll be able to combine efforts in reaching the next fundraising level.Ask to guest serve at a restaurant, cafeteria or bar. Many local places will do a profit share in addition to the tips you earn.Have a raffle. Find something everyone in the office prizes (a parking spot, the boss's office chair, etc.) and raffle off chances to win a day/week/month with the item.Make a trade. Offer to give your time for a donation. For example, "The first person to give me $25 gets their car washed" or "the first five people to donate to my fundraising page get homemade cookies." Be creative, and be prepared to make good on your promises.Ask again. If you’ve already asked and haven’t received a response, don’t be afraid to ask again. Sometimes people forget or accidently delete your e-mail.For more than 40 years, Special Olympics Missouri has been spreading the message: people with intellectual disabilities can – and will – succeed when given the chance.
