My partner and I are thinking of creating our own fund raising walk for GKTW. Just a personal quest - we have not decided on the exact plan but we were thinking we could walk around the Epcot World Showcase repeatedly, maybe a certain number of laps and have our friends sponsor us.
The question is, how do I collect the donations? Is there a web site, where the payments can go directly to GKTW and we do not have to take posession of the actual cash. I have participated in fund raising events where the benefitiary provides a web site, where people can go and make their credit card or PayPal contributions directly to the foundation. I would prefer to do that, so that the money is clearly goign to GKTW. Then I could even post my fundraising page on this site and maybe other Dis'ers could donate against these efforts. I see FirstGiving site where you can create a fundraising page, is that a reputable site and how much do they take off the top?
Just wondering. Also, if I was able to create or find a way to do this on line, would the DIS help me promote this event and post the page? We are thinking of doing this during our next trip to Disney. Walk around the World 11 times for the 11 countries. I think that would be a pretty good walk, would come with it's own challenges, dodging strollers, etc. Still have to do my research on the distance around the Worlds. Maybe we would have to do something silly like each lap we buy a pin at at a different country and wear it on our hats.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Helen
