This publication describes effective methods and techniques used in fund raising. Among the successful techniques mentioned are urgent requests for public support, an emphasis on public awareness, and a clear understanding by the community of the problem to be solved. General types of methods listed include all-star football and basketball games; walk-a-thons or bike-a-thons; parent, civic, and service group sales drives; sales of items made by handicapped persons; and the collection of trading stamps for obtaining supplies and equipment. Also, general principles, approaches, and ideas are described that help the reader choose which method is best suited to his own community. (JB)
