So will the Dog Walk Fundraiser be a fundraising idea for you? Well...
Do you have supporters with dogs? Are they dog lovers? Do they like to walk their dogs? And do they enjoy getting together?
Then you have the makings of a successful fundraiser!
It will also be a good fundraising idea for organizations to do with animal cruelty, or that are animal rescue shelters!
It's essentially a type of Walkathon Fundraiser... But with man's best friend as company!
A dog walk is a fundraiser event that is reasonably simple to organize. But it will take some preparation to run effectively!
This fundraiser can be a lot of fun. So let's do it...
So you may be asking... "How do we make money from this fundraiser?"
Your first way of raising funds will be through entrance fees. Decide on a price it will cost for people to take part and walk their dogs, for example $5 per dog.
You should give your walkers something for that entrance fee, like a T-Shirt or a fundraiser bracelet. Make sure you sell advertising on the T-Shirts as well.
You should also set a challenge for participants to raise funds themselves for the event.
A great idea would be to setup a Pledge Event Website where participants can create personalized donation pages and get friends etc. to donate to them.

Make sure the date you choose gives you enough time to advertise the event properly!
This is the aspect of your fundraising event that will either make it a huge success, or a flop.
