Fundraising: Thons
Today I received the October 2005 issue of the Fundraising for Small Groups Newsletter. In this issue the topic of “Thons” is discussed by quoting an chapter of “The Official Soccer Fundraiser’s Guide” written by J. Alden Briggs, Jr. and Jana Duffy, from which I quote:
The “thon” special event is a clever way of combining fundraising with a participant activity requiring accuracy or endurance - primarily of the athletic variety. Variations on this theme include: walk-a-thon, jog-a-thon, bowl-a-thon, lift-a-thon, skate-a-thon, bike-a-thon, swim-a-thon, dance-a-thon, shoot-a-thon and dribble-a-thon.
The article goes on to discuss 20 ways to help groups prepare for “thons”. For the full article, click here.
