Jump from a plane, donate a car, climb Kilamanjiro or sit in a bath of beans; any of these would be deemed fundraisers if money is raised from your efforts and subsequently donated to charities like the American Red Cross. With a physician’s okay, people with no sense of fear and a healthy appetite for adventure set off to find the most interesting and invigorating ways to get people to donate .
more cautious people might decide to follow tradition and observe more established methods of fundraising like direct appeals with collection boxes in their workplace or calling up to donate your car, safe in the knowledge that there is neither risk to life or limb by taking this route rather than the adrenalin junkies’ hazardous and tortuous pathways to fundraising. Vehicle donation is hazard and hassle free.
It is really amazing how much the ARC manages to do considering it is solely dependent on the generosity and benevolence of the public and not only do they secure funds to be able to respond to disasters in the local community if you were to make a vehicle donation say, you could ask that funds raised are directed to the cause of your choice and this will be respected. There may be some area of concern that has special meaning for you and this is why you can choose where you would like to donate your car . Be reassured, if there is anywhere requiring help it will need funds to support it and the ARC are glad to place them where you wish; it all helps.
I must admit I do love it when somebody does something out of whack for charity, laughter is good medicine and I’ll pay to laugh at someone else’s expense; being willing to make a fool of yourself in public shows great humility and I prefer that to the righteous pontificating of the sweat, blood and glory groups who take so long to achieve what they did. Why not have a quick laugh and raise instant cash ?
