personal yoga goals. Good luck and happy fundraising!

Send out at least 25 letters
to friends and family (ask for a minimum donation of $25) = $625.
Week 2:

Follow up on your fundraising
letters.
·
Ask three additional family
members (minimum donation of $25 each) = $75.
·
Ask five friends to sponsor
you (minimum donation of $10 each) = $50.
Week 3:
·
Ask three co-workers to
sponsor you (minimum donation of $20 each) = $60.
·
Check with your company's
human resource department to see if they offer matching gifts.

you (minimum donation of $15 each) = $60
Week 5:

contribution = $50
