Other ways you can raise funds
for GSNC through the Human Race

Gather Corporate Sponsors! A Corporate Sponsor is any company or individual that donates $250 to Girl Scouts of Northern California. The Sponsor receives their name/logo on the back of our T-shirt, recognition on GSNC's web site and advertised recognition in the Press Democrat. To see a list of 2007's sponsors, please click here.

Sign up Champions! A Champion can be any group of individuals that collectively raises pledges on behalf of Girl Scouts of Northern California. A Champion can be, for example, a business or members of your book club or choir. You can create a competition within your office department or with fellow co-workers. You receive the credit for whatever amount your Champion raises and the Champion receives its name/logo on the back of our T-shirt, recognition on GSNC's web site and advertised recognition in the Press Democrat.

Collect Pledges! Ask your friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers, hairdressers, mechanics, and favorite restaurants - whoever you can think of - to support Girl Scouts by financially supporting you in the Human Race. Remember, Human Race funds are also applied toward Family Partnership! Click here for the pledge form.
