Putting the "Fun" in Fundraising...

So asking for money, or trying to come up with a creative way to raise a lot of it isn't usually a fun task. SBA trips require a lot of fundraising, and luckily, SBA knows how to make it a good time...

From a 5K run, to a midnight pancake breakfast, from raking to rocking out at SBAide, oh, and don't forget selling fleece jackets and calendars, the SBA program finds a number of ways to raise money for its participants to participate in the program.

There are also "Dear Friend" letters, sent by each participant to friends, family and local businesses in their hometowns and surrounding areas.

Although it can be a challenge to pull together all of the $1,500 international trip participants are asked to raise, the reality is one where small donations add up to make a big difference!
