Fund raising majorly slowed down after the art auction, but it is just beginning to pick back up. I had to extend my prize drawing by two weeks because I didn't have enough entries and for some reason it was a lot harder to get donations for prizes this time. But...I persisted and now I've gotten quite a few more entries and I got several new prizes. So the new date for the drawing is April 12th.
We have only 1 1/2 months to go and a little under $2500. I'm starting to get worried. That's a lot of money in a little time. I have several other fund raising ideas but they take a lot of time and coordination to plan. I will be doing a poker night coming up soon, and I just figured out a good location for it (I just have to get the person's agreement), that should get several hundred dollars. Then I was also thinking about doing a silent auction, but I have to figure out a location for that as well. If anyone can help with some really good ideas, I'd really appreciate it.
On the training side, we had a shorter run last weekend, only about 7 miles. I have been doing more outside and hill runs and less treadmill, and it's getting easier every week (though it's still not easy!). I will be doing a 12-14 mile run this weekend by myself (I will be out of town so won't be able to run with the group), which should be interesting. I have to keep my discipline in and actually do it.
Overall though, I'm MUCH more worried about the fund raising than the training. Because even if I have to walk it I will, but I HAVE to get the fund raising done. Feedback is welcome!!!
