The Circle of Ten
On January - 31 - 2010
I was just visiting a great MS patient resource, About.com’s multiple sclerosis site, and I read about a fantastic way for people to simply and effectively raise money for MS research. The idea is called “The Circle of Ten”, created by a family who was touched by multiple sclerosis. The theory is quite simple (and ingenious): a person employs ten friends/family members to each collect $10 donations from 10 other people. So 10 people x 100 dollars in donations (each) = $1,000. What a great way to raise a cool grand! This idea is perfect for the coming MS Walk and MS Bike events.
To read more about this idea, visit Julie Stachowiak’s MS site at About.com.

I’m actually going to try this to raise money for the walk this year, Diane. I volunteer at the event each year, but I haven’t done any fundraising for it, so this is my goal.
**Keeping things in global perspective, I also think this idea would be a great way to raise funds for Haiti.
