Daughter Wendy started a team today for the SC ALS Chapter,my team is Kens Beach Bums,first time Ive been involved with this,any advice from the pros here,I have set a goal of 10,000.00 dollars,have bought a few extra PowerBall tickets
 
Can you give us some details on the walk, please?
 
Ken,

If you have a large support group - like a church or past co-workers, or even a lot of friends -- you can try selling team shirts. I had team shirts made up last year for our walk. The shirts cost us a little less than $5 and we sold them for $15 - could even sell for $20 and be reasonable.

Also, I have seen others get permission from their children's school to do fundraisers there. I believe they bought ALS bracelets and sold them.

My husband's past employer and co-workers held a fundraising lunch where part of the cost of lunch went towards the cause.

Good luck. BTW, my dad and very large family is from Tabor City, family name Ward, are you any relation to the Wards?
