Fundraising Ideas

Fundraising for your Hydrocephalus pet can help with the costs of imaging and surgery. Here are some ideas:

• Have a garage sale or car wash
• Old school media attention (newspaper, local news)
• Utilize Twitter
• Start a blog about your pet and interact with the blog world (they're great people who can pass along information about your fundraising efforts)
• Facebook (create a new group http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-New-Facebook-Group, create a 24 hour awareness campaign

• Start an online fundraising campaign (fundable.org, giveforward.org, etc.)
• Search the web for fundraising ideas (if you find a good one send to us and we can post here)

Tips:
*Funds should be for something specific like a surgery, not for ongoing care
*Never give out your address. Open a PO Box if you choose to accept donations by mail
*Be gracious, humble, thankful and not too pushy
*Regularly update all interested parties about your pets condition, keep it positive
*Fundraising takes effort and can be a slow process
