WRITE A LETTER
Letter writing is a great way to raise a lot of money in a short amount of time! If you are sending a letter, be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Tips & Tricks
– Make the ask early and often!
– Make it easy for people to donate! Send everyone an email with a link to your fundraising page.
– Make it personal, rather than sending a mass email. Tell your story. Share with others why you participate, whether it’s just for fun or because you love Special Olympics Colorado.
– If you’ve Pulled the Plane before, share a picture of your previous pull of glory. If it’s your first time, share your nerves and excitement!
– Have fun with it! Make a contest or game out of it – the first person to donate, or the largest donation gets a gift from you!
– Follow-up. Be sure to say thank you to donors after they make their donation, and again after you take on the Plane Pull. Send them a picture of you Pulling with your fundraising results from the event.
