There is a lot of time work and effort when you are trying to put a charity motorcycle run together. I speak from experience when saying this. I have a motorcycle run called Rattlesnake’s Run for Autism, and we have been doing it for 5 years now, I took it over when my father died in 2011, everything we raise goes to Autism Society the Heartland. From there they use the money we raise to send autistic children to camp that their parents would not have been able to otherwise. The key to a good motorcycle run is putting together a good committee, having a good cause, and having several different fundraising options to promote your cause. When you are getting started putting your motorcycle run together you need to think about what cause you would like to raise money or awareness for. Then you need to find a trustworthy group of people who are just as passionate about the cause as you are. For my motorcycle run my committee consists of my family and a couple of close friends of my fathers. Our cause is for autism which is very close to all of our hearts because we have family that are effected with autism and some very close friends with autistic children. Once you have your cause figured out if there is an organization for your cause that you want to donate to, you then needs to get in contact with them. When you get in contact with them they are usually very supportive or your event, the Autism Society Heartland has always been very supportive of our run and even lets us present the check to them at one of their fundraisers. There are many different things you need to work on at your committee meeting, like your fundraising options, getting sponsors, where you want to go for your rout, and get your flyer set up. For your rout the best places to stop are bars, this is how you keep the most people on your run. We normally have 5 stops, and then you have to get the bars on board. T-shirts and bracelets are also good ways to help raise

    People from the community and surrounding areas could welcome the chance to pull together and host a Christmas feast and auction. Dinners could be purchased at a nominal fee for individuals and families. Businesses from the area could be encouraged to join in and support the cause by donating items to auction after dinner and then we could hold a Christmas dance.

    The most common way Port Allen High students raise money for such thing is bake sales and market sales. In bake sales students buy baked goods from the store or make baked goods at home and they bring them to school. At lunch is the only time when students can sell their goods. Teacher permission and supervision is required for these types of things. Although a conflict of interest is students not getting approval from the teachers to host a bake sale because teachers simply can't supervise students. The way to solve the problem is to get teachers who are available at certain times. For example, having one teacher take one break to supervise then another teacher can fill the position once the other teacher leaves. A student points out a way in which students get involved is being part of Beta Club. Every year Beta Club sells World Finest chocolate to either students, faculty, or anyone outside of school. The money is fundraised for the school and the school gains a sponsor for the school. The problem is not everyone is in the Beta Club but students can be encourage to buy what other students are selling. At this point every student can help fundraise the money for their school. The last thing in which students help pay for school activities is paying for fields trips right out of their pocket. At Port Allen High it is…

    Sunday is the main events so the runners for the half and full marathon came in to retrieve their information packets, and shirts which they will wear during each run. Before I was assigned to work with a few other ladies behind the Shirt Distribution stand, the staff explained to all the volunteers about the water pouches that will be available to use during the events, and briefly demonstrated how the new water pouches worked, and how we should hold the water for the runners as the passed by. At the Shirt Distribution stand, we handed out long sleep shirts for each race, and collected the Shirt tabs which were located on each runner’s bibs. Once we collected the tabs, we each placed them in a clear plastic tub, which the head of staff would use to count if they needed to know how many shirts were distributed. We each took on equal responsibilities for the shirt distribution tasks, and when we were not busy; we conversed and got to know one another a little better. Pizza and burgers were provided for lunch, along with some water or soda to drink. Starbucks was available for everyone to drink freely, and cupcakes were being donated for two dollars towards charity. One of the supporters was a ballet company touring for the holidays, so they chose to put on a free short performance for the visitors at the Freedom Marathon Exposition, while giving the children a free lesson on how to properly stretch the muscles in their body. I thought it was great way to market the business and to get local patrons interested and eager to see more. I found it interesting to see that all ages were running or walking the marathons and it open my eyes up to how many people are actively involved in the community. Everyone was really humble and patient while waiting to receive their shirts which allowed the…
