Keeping a New Year’s resolution can be tough, especially if you are embarking on a healthier, more active lifestyle. There are a number of things that you can do to change your resolution from something you just say on January 1st every year to something you embrace and live for the 364 days afterwards.

If you’re new to fundraising, it can seem pretty daunting and questions abound. Where do you start? Who should you ask? Will people give? How much will they give? What if they say no? Although fundraising may be new to you, there are many that have started right where you are and have gone on to raise hundreds and even thousands of dollars and can answer those questions and more!
