First of all – a big ole THANK YOU to anyone and everyone who has supported/donated already to my world race fund! The generosity of people continues to amaze me! Fundraising is such a hard and emotional process, more than most people realize. Asking people for money is awkward and uncomfortable in so many ways. I am trusting the lord to meet all of my fundraising goals- I am already at 35% of my total goal!! WOOOP!
I am working out some details for a few fundraising events throughout the upcoming months but my first deadline fastly approaching have meet my initial goal of $5,000 by July to attend our team’s training camp in Georgia and $10,000 by October to leave so I need YOUR help! I want everyone to be a part of this journey to help bring love, hope and restoration to the ends of the Earth! SO HERE WE GO:
1. ADOPT A DAY
Did you know that just $50 covers an entire day of expenses on the race? In this fundraiser, I will be putting my world race days up for “adoption”. You can adopt one day on my World Race for $50, you can adopt two days for $100, etc. You can adopt a week for $350 or even a whole month for $1,400. After you donate, I will write your name on my calendar (that I will be bringing with me on the race) on the number of days that you have adopted.
Knowing that one of my loved ones paid for me to be wherever I am on that day will be so encouraging for me. So on the day that you choose to adopt I will send you a personal message to tell you exactly what your money helped accomplish for the kingdom of God on that day. The best part is that you are making that specific day possible on my race. Without your $50 donation I wouldn’t be there in the first place! I hope that on the day you adopt in particular, you will come alongside me in prayer for the people we will be interacting with!
If you choose to participate in adopt a day, after you donate send me a message or comment on this blog post and pick any day between October 2016 – August 2017 to adopt!
2.T-Shirts
I have worked with an organization called Fund the Nations on my t-shirt design. I love the simple message they embody. “Que Tu Espirtu Me Guia Sin Fronteras” – Comes from the Hillsong United Song “ Oceans” translating to “Spirit lead me where my trust is without boarders” So for just a $25 donation you can have one of these totally awesome soft t-shirts and for $5 more I will ship the t-shirts right to your front door!
You can either get with me for a cash donation, donate the $25 to my paypal account [email protected], or send me a VENMO (@elizabeth-gottsacker)
Send me a message or text with your size (anywhere between S-3XL) and your color choice for the shirts! Once I reach at least 25 t-shirt sales I will place the order and get them to you as soon as possible!
3. Mary Kay- Amy Marx
I have partnered with a new friend Amy Marx- She has graciously decided to contribute 40% of her profits from now until the end of June- By going to her website (www.marykay.com/amymarx) typing in my promo code THEWORLDRACE you can order your favorite beauty products while supporting my mission trip!! Amy has also decided for each facial and make over she does (free of charge to you) she will donate 15 dollars to my world race! If you are wanting to get pampered this is the way to go- for more info give me a shout! Mary Kay’s mission is to Enrich Woman’s Lives! What a great way to support the Kingdom with products that make my favorite ladies look and feel great!!
My Favorites include:
-Timewise Miracle Set
-Pink Cherie True Dimensions Lip Color
-Time Wise Matte Wear Liquid Foundation
-Ultimate Mascara
4.GIFT CARDS
I am in need of a ton of gear for this journey- I am blessed to be close with a previous racer (S/O to Pamela Galvin) whom has graciously given me some of her gear. So for those of you who have been wanting to donate but are uncomfortable with donating to an organization you don’t know, this is an easy way to show your support!!! Gift cards to places like REI or amazon will help me purchase the gear that I will need for the trip. You’ll be blessing me by taking some of this financial burden off my shoulders!
5.SIMPLY DONATE
Truly, every single donation makes a difference – it’s not just a donation, it’s you letting me know that you’re here for me, that you’re praying for me, that you believe in me and that you support my calling. So by clicking on the “Support Me” tab and giving any amount I will proudly hug you and thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
I love all of you more than you know! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about my trip, my story or why I’m choosing to give it all up and go.
xoxo,
B
