Complete an outdoor challenge to fundraise for your favorite charity

By Keira Cross


In today's world charity goes a long way. We are lucky to live in one of the more privileged places in the world and don't have to worry about the trials and tribulations of extreme poverty. Even if we are down on our luck financially there are often government programs and ways to get you by the boot straps and rise up once again. Many other nations do not have this opportunity, and thus charity, is a pinnacle point of being a good person when living in a country like ours.

Rehoming dogs is one little way of giving back to our community, and there are plenty of shelters and agencies that you can volunteer at or donate and contribute to that will help make a difference in these animals' lives. These shelters can be found in almost every city and if there isn't one located in your town, there is surely one nearby that can be utilized. Rehoming dogs is an ideal way to give back to those less fortunate.

There are a huge variety of ways to give back to yours and other communities, and fundraising ideas are plentiful. You can organize marathons, charity bins, fundraising auctions, and a plethora of other events at which money can be gathered to help those less fortunate. Fundraising ideas may seem a bit exuberant at first, but when you get down the core idea, it is a simple one, and easy to organize. When organizing an event like this doesn't let it be daunting, remember that once you get the basic plan laid out you will have helping hands from those charitable folks all over your neighborhood. Things like hosting a concert or an auction can cause everyone to lend a helping hand, and once you get the basic coursework laid for your fundraising idea, you will then soak up the aid that your neighbors can offer and make it an event to remember. This idea can also be coupled with rehoming dogs, as you can make it a theme of the fundraiser, one that everyone can get behind.

You can also take steps to raise money for those less fortunate yourself, by making a pledge and climbing a mountain, or running a marathon. There are a number of fundraising ideas that involved getting a pledge or collecting money from people that you will then use as a catalyst to doing something extraordinary, that will be not only helpful to those less fortunate, but also fun and memorable for you and everyone involved.

As you can see, there are a plethora of fundraising ideas and options that you can pick from to make your mark on this world. Many of these involve getting the community involved, and can be a memorable and fun experience for you all. Rehoming dogs and hosting a meet are just a couple ways to give back and host a great experience. Some of them just involve you, making your mark, and getting pledges toward your mission. No matter what plan you go forward with, know that with good intentions of a charitable nature, you won't go wrong.
