Fundraiser
My friend’s 2 ½ year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Wilm’s Tumor. It is a childhood cancer that affects the kidneys. Doctors discovered that Maddy had a tumor the size of a grapefruit in her left kidney. She immediately went in for surgery to remove the tumor and her kidney. However, the cancer had already spread to her lungs. Maddy underwent radiation and she will continue to receive chemotherapy one time a week for at least 6 months. In the meantime, her mother, a speech therapist at United Cerebral Palsy had to take a leave of absence to take care of Maddy. Maddy also has a twin brother, Jack who continues to go to day care. Their dad is a history teacher and basketball coach for the Mary Lewis Academy, an all girl’s Catholic school.
I have organized a fundraiser to help Madison and her family. Does anyone know where I can get some sponsors or donations for raffle prizes?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Fundraiser
I recently had bowling fundraiser that raised $10k. The majority of the money was raised on the raffles and the 50/50. I worte up a letter and brought it around to all the local business/restaurants for donations. Then I reached out to friends to ask colleagues/business partners if they could donate mets or any other ticktes.
You can go on to the mets, yankees and LI Ducks websites and fill out a request for a donation. I didnt go this route because of the short notice.
Send me the details and I will give it some more thought!

UPDATE!
I just wanted to let everyone know that the fundraiser was a huge success! We raised almost $9,000! Its going to be a big help for the family. Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'd especially like to thank "ArmyOfBabies" who went out of her way for a complete stranger to get prizes to raffle off. It was so generous!
