1. Walk throughout your neighborhood. Talk with your neighbors about SpPHO and the organization’s goals. Ask them to support 3 for 1 Bracelet Days by purchasing bracelets.
2. Ask permission of high traffic businesses – for example, supermarkets or pharmacies – to allow your group to solicit customers near the store entrance(s).
3. Solicit local merchants to sell SpPHO bracelets at their stores or to purchase a number of bracelets, which they can give away to their customers or clients.
4. Involve your favorite community-based organization to leverage your efforts. You can also publicize and coordinate your efforts by becoming an SpPHO affiliate.
5. Use your contacts. Be creative! We have a great story to tell. We are confident that the vast majority of people you approach will be very receptive.
Remember, in all your efforts, encourage your volunteers with developmental disabilities to take as much initiative as possible.
