  • Some sort of bike ride or other sponsored event in the spring. This is very good for getting potention donor names and addresses

  • Amherst Club members get in clusters (maybe three or four) and raise money for an individual student. Makes it more of a campaign and creates personal motiviation for each student in cluster. Basically setting up mini clubs at Amherst with the students.
