8 Tips for success... Awareness Stall tips for success We always look for help to raise awareness of Parkinson s NSW. Have you considered helping to educate your community? Date We recommend holding your Awareness Stall on April 11 which is World Parkinson s Day or during September which is Parkinson s Awareness Month. Or pick a day that has meaning to you. Location We have had a lot of success from people holding their Awareness Stall in Shopping Centres. You will need to apply to the shopping centre for permission to hold the stall. Resources Request some Parkinson s NSW Service Brochures and our Postcards. Hand these out at your stall and let people know where to find Parkinson s NSW and the services that we offer. If they have questions you can direct them to the InfoLine on Promotion Download our posters and ask the shopping centre to put them up to advertise when your stall will be there. Decoration You might like to download the bunting which you can find on the website to put around your stall to decorate. 7

9 Tips for success... Wear Purple for Parkinson s Ideas You could hold this anywhere. There couldn t be an easier way to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson s NSW. This is a great activity for workplaces. Location Decide if it will be the whole office that will wear purple of if it s just your department. Does it only have to be one purple item or a whole outfit? Will you have an afternoon tea with purple food? You can make the activity as big or as little as you like. Promotion Put up your posters around the office to remind people in the week before. Ask HR if they can include it in the weekly to staff that for only a gold coin that they can wear purple and help raise funds and awareness for Parkinson s in the office. Decoration You might also want to download the purple bunting from our website and decorate the office. How will you raise funds Have a donation bucket on the day and collect gold coins from the staff members. Remember to take lots of photos! Post on facebook.com/parkinsonsnsw or them to events@parkinsonsnsw.org.au 8

10 Tips for success... Music Night This could be a school talent quest or a performance by a local band at the pub. It is a great way to have a fun night with friends and family and help raise funds and awareness for Parkinson s NSW. *Below are tips for a school talent quest. Recommended date A Friday night is a great night as people aren t worried about staying out too late. Hold the talent quest in the school hall as everyone knows where it is. How will you raise funds Have a gold coin entry for the night. Or set entry at the door to $5 Promotion Download the posters from our website and put them up in the local shopping centre and around school. Ask your school to put a notice in the parents newsletter. Decoration Download and cut out the bunting to put up around the stage for the performance. Make sure you request some of our postcards to let people know who the money is going to and the services Parkinson s NSW provide. Consider having this as an annual talent show and raising money for Parkinson s NSW every year. 9

11 Tips for success... Coffee for a Cause Ideas Do you have a favourite coffee shop that has the best brew and queues around the corner. Why not ask them to help with Coffee for a Cause. For every cup they sell in a given period they donate $1. Duration We recommend that this activity be held over a few days. If the coffee shop knows that they have a particularly busy period; such as Friday-Sunday ask for them to donate during that period. Promotion Download the poster and put it up in the coffee shop, and around the neighbourhood. Request and display the Parkinson s NSW Services brochure. How will you raise funds Is the coffee shop going to donate $1 from each coffee? Will patrons be requested to leave their change in a donation box? Daily indulgence drop great for workplaces How much do you think you spend weekly on coffee? What about that sushi that you get for lunch every day? Why not challenge yourself and some friends to give up their indulgence for a week and donate the money you would have spent. Duration We recommend running this activity for a week to a month. Rules Think about how the activity will run? Should people participating be penalised for purchasing their daily indulgence and have to contribute double the cost instead? Promotion Spread the word by sending out invitations to your family, friends and co-workers letting them know what you are doing. Have them help keep you honest. Collecting monies Have everyone contribute at the end of each week. Set up an online fundraising page so that you can direct everyone to the same donation point. 10

12 Tips for success... How to support your Fundraising activity Create a fundraising page Make it easy for your friends and family to support you and share it with their friends and co-workers. Have a goal This is something to reach for. This will help create a destination. Make it Personal Did Grandma have Parkinson s, or does your brother have it? Did you just find out your hairdresser has been diagnosed or have you heard how it affects everyone and you want to help. Tell your story. Be Your First Donor People are more likely to donate if they can see $ someone else has done it. You can t ask others to do what you won t. Reach Out Contact close friends and family first. Often the people most willing to help are the people you are closest to. Embrace Social Media Don t be afraid to share your activity on all your social media channels; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Send Thank you s Send them early and send them often to those who are supporting you in your efforts. How to raise $250 Set up your online fundraising page and then ask: 10 friends for $5 $50 5 family members for $15 $60 Your employer for $30 $30 3 co-workers for $10 $30 4 neighbours for $10 $40 8 local stores for $5 $40 TOTAL $250 How to raise $3,000 Set up your online fundraising page and then ask: 8 friends for $30 $240 5 family members for $50 $250 5 co-workers for $20 $100 6 neighbours for $20 $120 8 local stores for $50 $400 4 people from school for $30 $120 6 people from sport for $30 $180 3 people from book club for $30 $90 Total $1,500 Ask your employer to match what you raise TOTAL $3,000 11
