Fundraising

 

New in 2010! Raise $500 or more for CCVI and you could win a roundtrip pass* courtesy of Southwest Airlines. For every additional $500 you raise you will receive an additional entry in the drawing. Two passes will be given away.

Collecting pledges is not necessary to participate in the Trolley Run but we highly encourage fundraising for CCVI.  The Center serves more than 300 children annually and you can help each child reach his or her highest potential in the sighted world. Every dollar you raise for CCVI directly supports the students.

 

After you register for the race, you can create a personal fundraising page to start fundraising online right away. Make the first donation and send e-mails to your family and friends to help raise money for the children of CCVI. They will be able to make secure donations through your online fundraising page. If you are registered and need help setting up your fundraising page, download these tips.

If you'd like to support your fellow runners/walkers, you can visit their fundraising pages. Click here to search for other fundraising pages by participant name.

Other ways to help

Not tech savvy? You can still help raise much needed funds for CCVI.  Have a bake sale or collect loose change. When the weather is warmer you could have a lemonade stand or car wash. Or simply ask your friends and family to support your efforts and donate!
