Make Fundraising Even MORE Fun

Join the Campus Walk Stream Team! It is so easy, and it isn't just for gamers!

Live Fundraising is a great way to tell your story, engage with donors, and create a richer connection to the mission!

 

Live Fundraising isn't only about gaming. Here are some ideas on what you can do as an individual or team:

• Set a time (24 hours, 5 hours, 3 hours, etc.) to have challenges that you and/or your team will do! Tell your "audience" that you are doing the live fundraiser, and what your goal will be!

• A challenge can be:

  • Playing a game under a certain amount of time

  • Doing something you hate like:eating a food item you detest, singing in public, petting a snake...the list can be endless!

  • A certain number of cartwheels, jumping jacks, push-ups, etc.

  • How many hot dogs you can eat in 5 minutes, or a pie-eating contest!

• You can also do activities within a specific amount of time, and show everyone you are doing it, and where you are if you want others to join you, such as:

  • Car wash

  • Cook-off or pretend you are hosting a cooking show

  • Play quick games such as Jenga, Connect Four, Slapjack, Hungry, Hungry, Hippo, Pictionary, etc.

  • Play charades!

  • Karaoke!

And of course you can ALWAYS play video games as an individual or a team!
