Tips Tuesday – Set A Goal

Typically Liver Life Walk participants each raise about $150 and each participant that raises at least $100 will receive an official Liver Life Walk t-shirt. These numbers help you get an idea of where to start, but have you considered if they are the right goals for you? As Team Firstgiving notes, it is very important to set a fundraising goal.

So, I bet you're wondering how to set your team fundraising goal and your personal goal, right? Begin by making two lists.

• Team Goal: List everyone you can invite to join your team. Considering that each participant raises an average of $150, then...
  
  • 10 people x $150 each = $1,500
    
  • 15 people x $150 each = $2,250
• Personal Goal: List everyone you can invite to donate – friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, church members, etc.
  
  • 6 donors x $25 = $150 - the fundraising average!
    
  • 10 donors x $25 = $250
  • 25 donors x $25 = $625

My team, Team Misfritz, is walking in honor of my brother who was born in 1972 - we have used this number and set the team goal at $1,972. We are already a quarter of the way there! Now that you've crunched the numbers, set your goal! Think you can exceed the average? Go for it! What goal have you set for your own Liver Life Walk team??
