Donation Cans: You’ve seen those collection cans at gas station and convenience stores right? So what’s stopping you? Do you go to the dry cleaners, dentist, doctor, stop at the deli for a coffee most mornings, get your hair cut? Anywhere you are a customer, ask them if you can put a collection can up. You are their customer, they want you happy, they DON’T want you telling everyone they wouldn’t support the fight against breast cancer. They can also make a corporate donation for the tax deduction. I got cans with the plastic lids, duck taped the lid on and wrapped it in pink paper. Write on it who you are and what it’s for and your website so they can donate online if they want. I also put the saying “The change in your pocket can change a life” on them.
Fliers: Print up fliers with your website address and put them on every public bulletin board you can find. Town Hall, library, grocery store, Laundromat, where ever you can hang fliers.
Flowers: Ask a local florist or nursery if they will donate pink flowers preferably roses but carnations work to. If not outright donate, maybe sell them to you at cost. On Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day wrap a single flower and some greenery in pink tissue paper. Attach a tag stating that a donation has been made help fight breast cancer in honor of the recipient. Sell them for $5. You can gather pre-orders at work, kids schools, PTA, the gym, and deliver them to those locations on a certain day to be picked up.
