Effective Fundraising How To – A Force
for Good!
By Marty Miserandino, Fit Werx, Road and
Triathlon Cycling Specialists
Over the past seven years I’m proud to say that
I have individually raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various charities
including the American Diabetes Association. As a result I’m always
asked, “How do you do it?” In my opinion, it’s really simple. The
number one reason people don’t get the support they hope for is that they don’t
ask and/or they don’t ask enough. Click
here to read the full article with Marty's low effort-high impact ideas
that will help you reach your fund raising goals.
