Make a donation
If you aren’t comfortable volunteering or don’t have the time to get personally involved, making a donation is a great way to do something right. Simply making a monthly cash donation to The Aarskog Foundation will make a difference.
Even though you aren’t physically advocating for a cause, making a donation still shows that you support our cause. It benefits you by making you feel warm and fuzzy inside, and it benefits the organisation by helping them meet their needs.
Be an advocate online
In today’s technology-driven society, advocating for a charity online through social media and other websites can be very powerful.
Posting about The Aarskog Foundation or asking your friends and followers to “Like,” or “Follow,” our pages, or website can raise awareness and create a chain of viral interest among friends and peers.
You can use Twitter to tweet a link to our donation page, or post a Facebook status sharing The Aarskog Foundation volunteering opportunities with your friends. Sharing your interest in us on the web or through your social media accounts is a great way to get the word out (for free!) and generate creative ways to be an on-line advocate.

Fundraising brings in a great amount of money for your organisation, but can also be a fun excuse to spend time with your friends and family. These types of events also increase awareness, which can sometimes be more meaningful than profits!
In the process of making money for The Aarskog Foundation by getting people involved, can make them more apt to volunteer again, or even better, become a fundraiser themselves. In the end, these events benefit both parties, but most importantly, they raise awareness.
