Gratitude Challenge
One of the ways we hope you will practice gratitude with FSR this month is through completing the Gratitude Challenge! The Gratitude Challenge includes identifying five things you are grateful for and including them on the Gratitude Tree. For each gratitude, we invite you to pledge $10.00 for each thing to give back for how much joy each of your “gratitudes” bring. You can make a donation on your Gratitude and Giving fundraising page for your “gratitudes” or invite a family or friend to sponsor what you are grateful for by donating $50.00 to your page!

Ways to Foster Gratitude with Your Family and Friends
Included below are some ways to help you generate gratitude with your family and friends for the campaign! Don’t forget to tag FSR and share with us how you are fostering gratitude in your community.
- Complete the Gratitude Tree and invite 4 people to join you (if you donate $50 yourself – remember that is just $10 for each thing you are grateful for) and with your friends help you can raise $250 for the campaign!
- Invite 5 people to join you by completing the Gratitude Tree and pledging $10 for each “gratitude.” Encourage them to ask 5 people to join them.
- Host a Gratitude and Giving Rally by inviting ten people to join your team and each donating $10 to kick-start your fundraising efforts.
- Host a 5 Days of Gratitude challenge on social media. Post photos of things or people you are grateful for this season. Remember to invite your friends, family, coworkers to participate (see #2 above)
- Until November 30, ask your family or friends what they are grateful for and how they are giving and suggest they each sign-up and participate in the Gratitude and Giving campaign. Be specific in your ask. The number one reason people don’t donate to a cause is because no one personally asks them to donate. Personally ask friends and family and be sure to tell them why you would be grateful for their generosity.
- Share your favorite five song lyrics or dance moves pledge to donate $10.00 for each song, lyric, or dance move that makes you smile ask your friends to join by doing the same or ask them to donate to support you.
- Plant five trees or plants and make a pledge to donate $10.00 for each to show how much you appreciate the beauty they bring to your life ask your friends to do the same
- 25 days of gratitude – friends, family, coworkers to pledge to write down and share publicly what they are grateful for on each day and donate just $2 for each thing they are grateful for!
