Still another idea is to have a community garage sale the weekend before Tuesday, September 25 th , having neighbors, friends and local businesses donate items to be sold. Another idea is to ask local businesses to help support ataxia awareness by donating the proceeds of one particular item sold on September 25, 2001. In addition, through your public awareness efforts, ask a friend, neighbor, or co-worker to support September 25th by becoming a member of the National Ataxia Foundation. Contacting local civic groups such as Lions or Jaycees may be another option. Fund raising ideas are limitless, but keep the awareness theme with each fund raiser.
Some communities have ordinances regarding certain fund raising events.
Please contact your local public officials before you begin any fund raiser. Share your experiences with us.
