More fundraising challenge ideas...

Skip Starbucks: If you work in an office, get with 4-5 coworkers who drink designer coffee and agree to skip it just one day; pool the money saved from passing on the latte and you'll easily have enough for a Baby Step. How about if you did this once a week until marathon time?

Brown bag it: Similar to the first idea, if you bring your lunch to work, or know people who do, encourage everyone to bring their lunch for a day (or a week!) instead of buying a meal. Combined the saved cash and donate to Team Bethany. Ditto the once a week thing!

Penny collections: Little kids can help by collecting pennies and other coins from relatives, friends and neighbors. Rinsed out soda cans make great collection devices. You'd be amazed at how quickly one dedicated kid can collect a Baby Step.

Dollar drives: Medium-sized kids with a pledge sheet collect $1 from 25 people to earn a baby step.

Party Proceeds: Some of our adopters have held Golden Retriever themed birthday parties for their kids. The kids forego gifts for themselves and the guest brings items or money to donate to rescue.
