Welcome to Zero Zeros 2020
Miracle at KSU is dedicated to getting our donor drives off zero dollars because kids can’t wait for the curve to flatten.
This push day is dedicated to getting all of our Dance Marathon participant's donor drives off zero dollars. Yesterday we were able to celebrate Child Health Day, and today we get to make a difference for those children! We want to see every single donor drive off $0 by the end of the day, because Kids Can't Wait.
In honor of Child Health Day and all of the kids fighting each day, starting on October 5th at 9:00 PM, we challenge each participant to get their donor drives off zero dollars in 27 hours.
Check out the video below to see more about where your donation could go!
WAYS TO RAISE ON ZERO ZEROS:
*Using these tips will help to get your donor drive well off zero dollars, because kids can’t wait.
Facebook Message 5 people and ask for a $25 donation, Venmo request 30 people and ask for a $4 donation, or email 4 of your professors and ask them for a $25 donation.
Send an email to all of your previous donors in Donor Drive (go to the messages setting in your Donor Drive account to draft a message and see previous donor emails).
Ask your family, friends, or parents if their corporation has a matching contribution program (a $50 donation could be matched to raise $100).
Personally ask 12 friends to donate to you.
Go canning outside a local store or at a popular street (always ask the store first).
Clean out your closet, take the clothes to a resale shop like Plato’s Closet or Uptown Cheapskate, and donate the money to your Donor Drive.
Drive your friends to Buckhead or the airport and ask for a donation for Zero Zeros.
