1. Decide how you want to raise money to help the kids!

There are many different ways to inspire your coworkers, friends, and family to help the kids at the hospital. Some examples include: marathon events, trivia nights, sporting events, runs/walks, auctions, bake sales, bike rides, galas, concerts, jeans days, golf tournaments, head shaves, and toy drives to name a few!
