Liam wasn’t sure where to start with fundraising, so he decided to be bold. He printed a letter explaining his service trip to Ecuador and visited local businesses, asking to speak with the manager.
Instead of just dropping off his letter and leaving, he took the time to share his passion and explain why this trip mattered to him. He visited doctors’ offices, chiropractors, and small businesses, hoping to find sponsors. Many business owners appreciated his effort and enthusiasm and were happy to help!
Some donated money directly, while others contributed services or products he could use in a fundraiser. By the end of his outreach, Liam had raised most of the funds he needed, all by simply asking in person.
