Hey everybody,
I am planning to do a kayaking trip that is probably going to amount to about 100 miles. My plan is to make it all the way to Wilmington(the beach). I am not a hardcore kayaker(don't even have a kayak), so I will be renting one haha.
I was thinking about trying to turn my kayaking trip into a way to get money for children at the Duke Hospital. I thought about getting people to pledge an amount of money per mile of kayaking.
Questions:
Is this a viable way to raise money for charity? Do I need to talk to the charity foundation before I try to raise money? How can I ensure the people that their money is going towards that charity? Is it possible for me to get money or sponsors from local businesses? If I am doing this as a charitable event, should I increase the mileage to make it appear as a bigger deal?
The more information I can get the better!
Thanks,
-Pat
