There are many resources available to you in order to make your fundraising experience a fun and easy one.  By reaching your fundraising goal, not only are you receiving tips and training resources for the race day, but you are also helping WITS serve children in under-resourced Chicago Public Schools with one-on-one tutoring and mentoring.  Here are some simple ways to meet (and surpass!) your fundraising goal.

• Set up a personal fundraising page under WITS' main profile at First Giving.com
• Simply click the link and follow the steps to be linked with WITS

• Have a golf outing, bowl-a-thon or other activities
