You could create a Facebook event and invite people to your Tea Party; remember to include your fundraising page URL in the event invite.

You can also send invitations via email or SMS, pop a poster up in your workplace or community club (you’ll find these online here), or put a notice in the local magazine or newspaper. 

If you’re hosting in your workplace, ask if you can advertise on your internal communications channels or add to your email signature.

People donate because they are asked – so don’t be afraid of asking! 

Tell your supporters why the cause is important to you and remind them that every dollar counts – every dollar will go towards supporting those living with Parkinson's. 

Many workplaces also offer dollar matching, so it’s worth asking your boss if they will do this.

Also, don't be afraid to follow up on your ask. We all live busy lives, someone might have every intention of donating to your Tea Party, but it has slipped their mind, so a simple reminder won't go astray.
