Creative Ways To Raise Funds for your Area

Creative Ways to Adopt-A-Smile:

1. Order your promotional products from Embrace Smiles. This company sells what business and groups need: incentives, awards, advertising specialties, gifts, signage and more! Purchase the promotional products your business or group needs and a portion of the proceeds will benefit children in your area getting braces through SCL.

2.  Ask your employer to make a donation or use an existing matching employee gift program.

3. Collect individual donations from your civic, social or faith groups by hosting a holiday Adopt-A-Smile campaign.

4. Host a gift-giving holidays with friends and family into a silent auction that benefits SCL.

5. Create an online fundraising campaign through social networking sites like Change.org, MySpace and Facebook.

6. Transform existing company or group events into benefits for the SCL Adopt-A-Smile program (golf tournaments, runs/walks, auctions, etc.).

7. Ask friends/family to make a donation to SCL in honor of a birthday, wedding or holiday instead of traditional gifts.

8. Host a trivia or game night with proceeds benefiting SCL.

9. Encourage your teenagers to select SCL as the beneficiary of their dance-a-thon, lock-in, bake sale, sports tournament or carwash.

10. Ask a local restaurant or business to host a party for your staff and allocate a percent of the proceeds to benefit SCL.

11. Create a raffle contest among colleagues.  The winner gets the prize, SCL gets the funds raised from the sale of raffle tickets.

There are many ways to raise funds for a great cause. We’d be honored if you’d consider Smiles Change Lives as your charity of choice.
