Fundraise from your home to support GBS awareness!!
If you are home during this time and are looking for ways to help others, consider fundraising for GBSI from your home!
- Sponsor your steps: Ask family and friends to sponsor your steps, whether it's a penny per step or $100 for reaching 50,000 steps - it adds up! It's a perfect way to keep you active during the pandemic while also helping out a great cause.
- Trivia Night: Invite your friends to join you on Zoom or another video platform and host a night of trivia. Whether it's pay-to-play or you raffle off prizes between rounds, it's sure to be fun! You can even find quizzes online that are ready to go.
- Spring cleaning sale: Use this time to sort through your closet or those boxes in the garage you've been meaning to get to. Sell the items online and donate the funds to GBSI.
- Sell a skill: Use Zoom or other video platforms to teach people a skill like cooking, fitness training, sewing, drawing, etc.
- Facebook birthday fundraising: With many parties put on hold, consider asking your friends to donate to our cause.
Go contactless and ask people to donate directly online
