Retaining Endurance Program Participants
July 12 Teleconference with Mike Dilbeck of Team To End AIDS
The good news about endurance fundraising: Every year more people sign up to raise large amounts of money. The bad news: Many programs see a third or more drop out before race day.
Fortunately, there are ways to increase the number of participants that cross the finish line. In this one-hour teleconference, Mike Dilbeck, National Director, Team To End AIDS, shares strategies and tactics for increasing participant retention. He'll equip you with field-tested hi-tech and hi-touch tools to help your endurance fundraising program achieve greater results.

Marathon Participation Hit a High in 2010
There were more than half-a-million finishers in US marathons in 2010, the first time that figure exceeded 500,000, according to a Running USA study.
The group attributed the growth to training programs (charity and non-charity), the challenge of 26.2 miles, bucket list appeal, women's growth and fun, well-organized community events.

Timing Is Everything
One in a series of tips sponsored by Event 360
Wednesday's a great day to ask for money, according to a study done by the Network for Good that tracks giving trends over seven years.
The research shows that most people give during the week, more specifically during the workday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. With that in mind, a fundraising "ask" email timed to hit recipients' inboxes at 9 a.m. on Wednesday may result in the most donations.
