Who says fundraising can’t be the highlight of your social calendar? Peer-to-peer fundraising is your chance to turn your favorite hobbies into hope for our families.
The sky is the limit: host a game night, a neighborhood fun run, or a “paws-on-deck” dog walk! We’re here to help you brainstorm and execute a successful event that brings your crew together for a great cause.
Peer-to-peer fundraising allows you to turn your personal milestones and passions into support for families staying at Ronald McDonald House New England. By reaching out to your own network, you amplify our mission and ensure that “home” is never too far away for a child in need.
Here are four common ways you can get started:
Turn your special day into a gift for others. Instead of traditional gifts for a birthday, anniversary, or graduation, ask your friends and family to make a donation to your personalized fundraising page. It is a meaningful way to celebrate your personal growth by providing stability to families during their most challenging times.
Push your limits for a cause. Whether you are running a 5K, participating in a cycling tour, or hosting a 24-hour dance-a-thon, you can ask supporters to pledge a certain amount for every mile completed or hour endured. These events combine physical achievement with social impact, rallying your community behind your dedication and grit.
Honor a loved one’s legacy. Creating a fundraising page in honor or memory of someone special is a powerful way to celebrate their life. Shared stories and photos on your page allow donors to connect with the individual’s impact while contributing to a legacy of kindness that supports our guest families.
Share your talents to raise support. If you have a knack for baking, yoga, photography, or coding, host a virtual or in-person “mini-class” for your network. Instead of a registration fee, ask participants to donate to your Ronald McDonald House New England campaign. This strategy offers value to your donors while highlighting the creative ways your community can come together.
