Is going store to store asking for gift card donations/ merchandise for my March for Babies family team okay?
This is an extremely important cause for me. I wanted to create a little money raising competition by getting prizes for the walker that earns the most money. I have spent a pretty penny arranging other fund-raising benefits. Would it be okay to ask stores if they would support our team by donating a gift card or store item. Maybe we can put in a good word for the business and market them as well. Any ideas? Any stores that come to mind?
