I'm taking the Climb 2 Feed Kids on January 21st! This event raises funds to support an amazing local organization called Feeding Our Communities Partners (FOCP).
FOCP provides critical food programming for area youth struggling with food-insecurity (grades K-12) in the Greater Mankato Area . FOCP connects local students with the necessary fuel they need on weekends/extended school breaks so they can thrive on Mondays back at school. My team is ready to Summit & Plummet in the fight against youth hunger. Will you help us reach our goal of $INSERT AMOUNT HERE? Just $5 provides a weekend food pack containing breakfast, lunch & snacks for each day. Click HERE (link to your Team or Personal Fundraising Page) to donate. You can feed a child with your loving gift. |
TIPSMake it personal: Tell your story. Share with others why you participate, whether it's because you're Climbing for fun or because you believe in the important work of FOCP food programs in the health & well-being of area youth.
If you've Climbed before, share a picture of your previous Summit & Plummet. If it's your first time, share your nerves & excitement! Have fun with it! Make a contest or game out of it: maybe the first person to donate or the largest donation gets a gift from YOU! Follow-up. Be sure to say thank you to donors after they make their donation, and again after you complete the Climb. Send them a picture of you Climbing with the results from the event. |

Additional Tips |
Corporate Gift Matching |
|
There's no need to fundraise alone - get your entire team working together! Host a bake sale, raffle, penny wars, hat day (pay $1 to wear your hat at school), etc. Have all the proceeds go to your Climb team.
Got a cool fundraising concept of your own? Let us know! |
Do your parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles, coach or family friend work at a company that does charitable gift matching?
It's worth checking out! When you find someone to donate to you, make sure they find out if their company will match their donation - that could mean double the money for you! |
