Fundraising Ideas
We Are Counting On You!
There are many ways you can help the Helpline. It does not take a lot of money to make a huge difference and help us continue to save lives. The following are all the fun and creative ways you can make a difference:
- Make a donation – the most straightforward way you can help is to visit our donate page and make your contribution.
Send your Change to Make a Change – Take part in our campaign by collecting your loose change and donating it to the cause. Spread the word by posting banners around your school or even set up a big jar with our campaign information so that other students can just drop their random change in. It does not take much, but if everyone donates even a few dimes, it will make a huge difference!- Sell your Prom Dress to help fight Teen Dating Abuse – Let’s face it, after prom night is over, that dress will just sit in your closet taking up space.
Why not sell it and use the proceeds to help out the Helpline? Take a photo of yourself wearing the dress before you sell it and send in the photo along with your donation. We will post all the prom dress pics on our website to thank you for your amazing contributions. - Hold a bake sale or craft show at school during lunch. Have loveisrespect materials available at the same table.
- Have an art show during or after school. Ask artists to create pieces around a chosen theme related to dating violence.
- Ask for a table or booth to distribute healthy relationship materials at games or dances.
Use MySpace or Facebook to host a virtual fundraiser.- Sponsor a PSA or essay contest at school or online. Try to arrange for donated prizes.
- Arrange a show with local performers or bands. Sell tickets or ask for donations at the door.
