- Wraparound Events! Last year, thousands of walkers across the country baked, wore jeans, brown-bagged it and even washed cars to raise extra money to reach their goal. Here are some ideas:
1. Food, Food, & More FOOD!!! – Hold bake sales (donuts, cookies, cakes, pies) sub sales, pizza sales, a barbecue or ice cream social
2. Balloon Icon Sales & Collection Jars – Ask your local corner store, supermarket or dry cleaner to help by putting out a collection jar.
3. Car Washes – Hold a neighbourhood car wash.
4. Garage Sales – Hold a neighbourhood garage sale with proceeds going to Light The Night®
