ok guys last year i collected a little over 500 dollars for tour de cure, this year im already beyond 5000 and its not until february. ive raised most of it doing a contest on bodybuilding.com with over 2000 dollars in supplements being given away. now if you would like to enter the contest please check the link here.
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=109015681 if not at least check out the format and try to set something up similar to this to raise funds for your own charity campaign. As this has obviously worked quite well and didnt cost me a thing (companies donated ALL the prizes). good luck.

So what was the final result of this? Would you do it again?

Honestly, when I first read this, I was sceptacle. But I could see how it might work. I was surprised that you weren't flamed on that forum, or blocked out for advertising the contest. But it's an interesting idea.

absolutly would. i am a company rep for muscle pharm on that forum and am well known. it follows all the rules as it is for charity and isnt taking business away from bb.com. i raised 6698 currently, making me the top individual fund raiser for the orlando event. so yes it work very very well. many companies donated prizes so out of pocket cost was minimal. i think it worked great!
