Inviting Youth to Fundraise for Your Chapter Hot Fundraising in the Summertime.(pro-life movement)(Brief Article)

Active membership often wanes in the summertime as families go on vacation or just spend more time together while kids are out of school. Yet, due to the nice weather, summer is the best time of year to do fun things and raise funds as a chapter.

Young people are often overlooked in the drive to enlist supporters and volunteers. Yet, in the summer, young people have the time and the energy to help your chapter's fundraising.

As members of the post-Roe generation, the youth have been most affected by Roe v. Wade. They also deal with abortion first hand as their classmates and friends develop their own views on the life issues, or, unfortunately, end up in crisis pregnancy situations.

Inviting young people to help your chapter with the following fundraising projects will contribute to their education on the life issues. By training young people to communicate the right-to-life message, you are insuring that the next generation of leaders will be a pro-life one. By enlisting their support for fund-raising, youth are devoting themselves to the chapter, and you are investing in the future of your chapter in more ways than one.

Car Washes

You see them almost every weekend, in parking lots of churches, gas stations, parks, and fast-food restaurants. Young people often hold car washes to raise hundreds, even thousands, of dollars for camps, trips, and equipment.
