Do you have any experience in fundraising? My background is teaching. I taught pre-school and kindergarten age children before I decided to stay home. After my little one was diagnosed with life threatening food allergies I felt as if I couldn't sit home and do nothing about it. I was motivated to get involved. I feel like I have to do something to raise awareness. Also, a cure will not be found without researchers and those researchers need money. So, I because involved with FARE. Food allergy research and education. Formerly FAAN, the food allergy and anaphylaxis network. Anyway, we hold a walk every year and the money raised goes to research.
Fundraising isn't easy and it makes me uncomfortable to ask people/companies for money. Here is a link for the types of fundraisers that can be done with FARE. Do you have any other ideas? Have you been to a charity event that you thought was great? Share the details.
