Paul and Julie Turner's approach to raising money is to get personal and creative. They are running the ING New York City Marathon and are trying to raise $6,000. They have generated 32 donations already, totaling $3,419.26
The Turners have sent more than 120 e-mails to friends and family. They did not use a template e-mail; they made it personal to each recipient. The personal touch has garnered more donations. They used sponsor sheets, where people could donate money up front or donate after the race.
They also looked to their driveway. They had an old car, which they towed to the local scrapper and received $150 to be donated to the MMRF. The Turners are also planning to host a yard sale to get rid of old items. All money raised will be put toward the final goal of $6,000.
