Walkathons for nonprofits and schools how a healthy lifestyle can contribute to overall esteem, productivity, and enjoyment of life. They are of the most popular and widely successful fundraising ideas. With every fundraising campaign there exists the added benefit of modeling community service and being a part of something larger than themselves. Online crowdfunding software will increase involvement from community members by giving them the opportunity to customize their own personal fundraising page. They are not only helping to raise much needed funds, but learning that helping out can be fun and rewarding.

What would set your event apart from other pledge fundraising drives is the inclusion of an art work contest for the walk-a-thon t-shirt. Every participant will have a chance to win. Giving them the opportunity to create art in the spirit of raising money for their cause is an enriching opportunity for them. And donors will enjoy the event as well as the artful t-shirt created through this spirited contest.

To hold a successful walkathon your organization will need to engage with its community, be well organized and plan ahead. You will find free walk-a-thon resources online to help you in achieving success.
