Okay now this deserves a post all on its own. Out of all the amazing things that happened in 2011, this by far takes the cake.
Writing checks that my body can cash, that's how I roll! A grand total of $2,000, with the help all of you who supported A Run For Your Money. This has been a long time coming folks, 15 years to be exact. Definitely one of my most proudest moments for several reasons. First and foremost is being able to give back to the BGCH doing what I love most and do best. Second, rolling out a successful, grass-roots, mixed media campaign using all my skills and experience in marketing and graphic design. And last but not least, sharing the entire experience with all of you.
The photos above were taken during a re-dedication/open house event for the Spalding Clubhouse which brought back a lot of fond memories for me. The clubhouse has come a long way since my time there and I could not be any more proud to be a product and alumni of the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii.
To build on the momentum that A Run For Your Money has started, here's what I'm thinking for 2012. I'm offering up my marketing, graphic design, and coaching services, free of charge, to any individual who would like to raise funds toward a worthy non-profit organization of their choice that has made a lasting impact in their life.
Here's how it works:
1) Sign up for a running event. It can be any race, of any distance, as long as you work hard and train for it. I will provide you coaching (if necessary) and support for your event and help you get to that finish line.
2) Set two goals. The first will be a time/pace-specific goal that will push you to your very limits. The second will be a fundraising dollar amount that's tied in to your time/pace-specific goal.
For example, 1) Maintain an average pace of 7 minutes per mile throughout a marathon. 2) Raise $1 for every mile run in 7 minutes or less, and a fundraising grand total of $777.
This is where you and your supporters get creative. The key here is to make it a win-win situation for both you and your chosen organization as you literally run for your supporter's money and earn their pledges.
3) Get the community involved. Put your campaign on blast to family, friends and co-workers through any means necessary. This is where I can help you with your grassroots efforts. We can work together to create promotional materials to help spread the word about your cause.
Okay so, if you feel strongly about giving back to an organization that has made a huge difference in your life and would like my help doing it, holla back!
