Fundraising Information

How does the Walk/Run Committee make such a great event happen each year and still be able to make such a large donation to Lowcountry organizations?? By using the funds raised from the Lowcountry Rockin’ the Pink Breast Cancer Walk very carefully and getting the most from each dollar raised. 

You certainly don’t have to be a fundraising expert to help us raise money for such an important cause.  Simply spread the word about the event you’re taking part in and you will be surprised at the people who will make donations or participate with you.  Using some very simple tips and tricks, you’ll have donations rolling in in no time!

• Post the walk information and that you’re participating on your Facebook page and encourage others to participate with you or make a donation.
• Set a goal for yourself or your team and don’t be afraid to raise your goal once you’ve met it.
• Tweet about your participation in the walk. 
• Direct people back to the Walk/Run website and encourage them to make a donation on line for you or your team.
• Send an email to your family and friends with a link to the Walk/Run webpage so they can just click over and donate.
• Host a bake sale at your office and donate the proceeds to the walk.  This works with garage sales too!

If your team or organization would like to post a challenge to other teams, contact us and we’ll list it right here for everyone to check out!

Volunteer Information

All these great events couldn’t take place without the help of volunteers.  In order to make our dreams become realities we need people to help with various tasks both leading up to and the day of the Walk/Run.  If you’re able to help make phone call, pick items up, help the day of the walk or anything else, please contact us.  We would be very grateful.  The Committee will give you a brief training on how to perform the tasks you’re given to make sure you understand what’s needed of you.  This is a great opportunity for school groups, service groups or other organizations to become involved with this event.  Volunteers will be asked to sign the Walk Waiver when the volunteer and volunteers under 18 will need a parent or legal guardian to sign the waiver for them.

Some areas volunteers are needed this year include:

• Manning water stations
