I am running the Edinburgh Marathon in May 2008 for Kidney Research. My brother underwent a transplant in august and i want to give something back to this charity for all their work.
I am looking to gain some support from businesses but don't know how to do this.
What should i ask for? What can i give in return etc.
Thanks, dave|||bring literature/ pamphlets that support both the charity of your choice and proof that you are registered in a marathon. Bring pictures of your brother...try to keep it short but sweet and go door to door in your neighborhood....you would be surprised what a lttle effort on your part could bring back to your charity...and, it is much eaier than running a marathon!
When you are done, come back to each business and tell them how you placed so that you follow through with them and they will trust you the next time you decide to do this!
I salute you for your take charge attitude where you are not just sitting around, but you are actually doing something and following your heart. I can tell that you are greatful to this organization for the help they gave your brother!|||you could offer to have their name on your vest to advertise them.
however, as we own a business...i can tell you that there is an overkill of people wanting sponsorship %26amp; its hard to chose who to support - each one is a worthwhile cause..so dont be surprised if they arent that enthusiastic about it...its nothing personal. good luck with it anyway...very nice thing to do.|||You could read most of the most relevant verses from the holy Quran/Koran on charity. http://www.progressive-muslim.org/zakat-鈥?/a>
Giving charity is one of the most important thing to do for the cause of God only and not for show off.
