Charity walks often require or encourage fundraising. For some multi-day walks, walkers are required to raise over $2000 in order to participate. What methods have worked best for you in raising funds for charity walks? What are some things that didn't work? Share Your Tip

Prayer Flags

For the RFAC.org For a Cause walk/bike, the organizer sent out squares of cloth that he will turn into a string of Tibetan prayer flags. We were encouraged to use a felt marker to add the names of people we wish to commemorate in our walk. I sent out an email blast to my potential donors asking them for names for the flag and any donation. I got an immediate response of 25 people and over $700.
