IDEAS
- A simple and low-cost idea is to initiate a "casual for a cause day" at your place of employment. Colleagues
may "dress down" for a day in return for a donation to Ryan's Quest. Perhaps, you could even ask your employer to match the
donations that are raised on that day.
- Use GoodSearch as your web search engine and indicate Ryan's Quest as your charity. A
small donation will go towards Ryan's Quest.
- Ask your employer about "gift matching". Some businesses/corporations will
match any donation that is made to a tax exempt public charity from employees within the office. Most often, this only requires you
to fill out a one-page form. You may even be able to ask your employer if Ryan's Quest may be added to a list of charities
to be supported during the "giving season".
- Smaller offices, without cafeterias, may enjoy the following idea: In the
past, "Cook Offs" have proven to be an extremely fun and lucrative fundraiser for Ryan's Quest. It's really quite simple...Select
a theme for your event (soups, salads, dips, meals, desserts...the possibilities are endless!). Then recruit volunteers to cook/prepare
the food. On the day of the event, each person who wishes to participate will pay a set price (selected by you) for the meal;
with all of the proceeds benefiting Ryan's Quest. You could even make it more enticing by voting for the favorite and providing
a prize for the winner.
- Acquire permission to sell Ryan's Quest merchandise at your place of employment. This will help
to raise funds and also the much needed awareness for DMD. There are many items to choose from including, bracelets, necklaces,
car magnets, t-shirts, & tank tops. (click here for merchandise page)
- Basket/Item Donations: We are always in need of themed
baskets or item donations! Some ideas for baskets include Movie Night Out Basket, Children's' Books Basket, Car Care Basket,
Spa Package Basket, Dine Out Basket, Toy Basket, Kitchen Basket, Hair Care Basket...Item donation ideas includeipods, bikes, cameras,
gift certificates, event tickets, fashion jewelry. Team up with family members or friends for another inexpensive, yet
effective, way of supporting our cause. If interested, all you have to do is email your idea to Maria info@ryansquest.org.
We would be more than happy to arrange a pick-up date & time that is convenient for you.
- Dinner Party: Host a private
dinner party for friends and colleagues and request a donation in return for their attendance.
- Keep informed: Please continue
to visit our website and stay informed about our upcoming events. We are always looking for volunteers to help assist with event
preparation and to volunteer time during the events.
