Solicit Raffle Prizes
Visit local businesses and ask for donations of products and/or gift certificates that would attract people to purchase raffle tickets prior to and on the day of the Walk (selling point - you need not be present at the Walk to win a raffle drawing). Previous and current donations include gift certificates to restaurants, salons and spas, retail stores, airline tickets, gift baskets, jewelry, etc. Use the Corporate Sponsor letter to help you.
