YOU COULD // fundraise
28 Jan 2010
While we figure out together what we as the I-HEART movement are going to collectively tackle (have your say HERE) we thought we'd give you a few easy suggestions on how to get started.
- Organize a clothes and blanket drive;
- Organize a canned goods drive and donate the food to your local food bank.
- Host a dinner party and ask your friends to make a donation to the cause of your choice.
- Organize an event such as a bake sale, car wash, auction, etc., and donate the proceeds.
If you do something, post your story below!
You could also;
>> Share your IDEAs
>> Share your ACTIONs
>> Volunteer

Because THIS LOVE, REAL LOVE, MUST BE DEMONSTRATED.

Re: YOU COULD // fundraise
I am taking part in Oxfam TRAILWALKER Sydney 2010.
Oxfam Trailwalker is the world's greatest team challenge. And it's also one of the toughest. The challenge is to get a team of four across 100km of Australian bush in less than 48 hours - and to raise at least $1,000 to help to overcome poverty and suffering around the world.
Oxfam Trailwalker is all about teamwork - it is a great way for friends to bond or for work colleagues to develop team spirit. Teams need to start together, go through each checkpoint together, and finish together. They have to train and fundraise together beforehand. Oxfam Trailwalker is a real challenge and our team are training hard and hope to finish as a team of four in 48 hours.
Oxfam works in more than 26 countries around the world including Indigenous Australia. By raising money for Oxfam Australia participants will be making a tremendous difference to the lives of some of the world’s most disadvantaged people.
The event began in 1981 as a military exercise for the elite Queen's Gurkha Signals Regiment in Hong Kong, and has since grown into one of the world's leading sporting challenges. Oxfam Trailwalker is a global event, taking place annually in New Zealand, UK, Hong Kong and Japan.

I fundraised a bit for a small orphanage in Haiti and was able to raise about $500 in a couple of days. The money was a great blessing to them. It's amazing what a little bit of diligence can yield!
