Fundraising Update #8

 

Update #8

Congratulations Final Leg Team. We have reached our ORIGINAL fundraising goal. Everyone has done such a good job raising funds and we haven't even started The Final Leg yet.  If our potential donors know that we reached our goal they are less likely to donate.  We anticipate additional funds will come in so we are increasing our Team's goal.  So, our new goal is $350,000. This would be a very impressive amount that we raised for Special Olympics so lets see if we can do it. Current standings are below.

As I mentioned before, a really great way to raise some last minute funds is to post pictures, videos and stories from your first few days of your Final Leg experience. As an example, I posted on my Facebook page while I was on the bus on the way to the Athens Airport. I included the below paragraph at the bottom of the post and I have had 6 people donate since then. One of the donors I haven't talked to in over 10 years.

Thanks to my family and friends for donating to my effort to raise money for Special Olympics. I am just shy of my goal so if anyone else wants to donate here is the link.
