I am walking the Relay for Life and need donations of Cancer Awareness charms. Any ideas from anyone?

I am participating in the Relay for Life which is dedicated to cancer survivors. Our team would like to make pins for the participants but need to know if anyone can donate the cancer awareness charms, beads and safety pins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Relay for Life is a great program! Employers will often provide some funds for things like this. Have someone on your team ask their employer if they will sponsor your team – don’t think too small when you do this. You’ll want team T-shirts, little gifties like the charms you mention, materials for signs, costumes, food, and other goodies. Total that all up, and double it, making the other half a direct cash donation to Relay. You should ask for a donation in the $500-2,000 range, depending on the size of your team, who the employer is, and so on.

If that doesn’t work, then look at other things your team has in common. If, for instance, you are all Moms, go to a local toy or other child-related store with the same request. If you are all college students, try the college bookstore or restaurants and banks with a concession in the student union.

Use something about yourself to make a request so that the giver knows you are a customer, that your request will be known to other customers, and that you will help them get more business. It’s a combination few businesses can refuse. Be prepared to follow up the request in writing, with documentation that it is to benefit Relay for Life.

Allow plenty of time; if the business is locally owned they will need less time, but corporations often need a month or more to process these requests (it’s how they keep the numbers down, for one thing.)
