One giant challenge of the [[Friends of Scouting - Community Campaign]] is asking for donations without giving the donor anything back in return. Many people are much rather inclined to pay a significant premium for product they can enjoy knowing that the excess is going towards a good cause. That is one of the hallmarks for why 5K runs are a very successful fundraisers. | |||
Typical community 5K Runs can collect $40 for each entry. For 500 participants that will gross $20,000. Deducting 50% for operating costs and race souvenirs that will net your $10,000. (Imagine trying to ask 500 strangers for a $20 donation with a 100% success rate?) | |||
=== Program Budget === | |||
All prices will vary greatly by location : | |||
* '''$0-250 : Park Use Fee''' - Most park rangers are very open to this event because they build their own brand awareness and collect some fees for parking and concessions. | |||
* '''$10/runner''' : Souvenir Race Shirts''' - Batch order, very important attraction for runners/walkers. Also very important for your ongoing recruitment and district brand promotion. | |||
* '''$2/runner''' : Race Medallions''' - I've seen everything from metal medallions to wood tokens with a custom lanyard. | |||
* '''$1/runner''' : Post Race Snacks''' - bottled water, fresh fruit, energy bars, etc. | |||
