"As you know I&amp;#x27;m super involved with the Leukemia &amp;amp; Lymphoma Society (I&amp;#x27;m on the board of the NYC chapter, among other things) and, well, it&amp;#x27;s time for me to start asking my friends and family for money again. Light the Night, the Society&amp;#x27;s big--and beautiful--walk over the Brooklyn bridge (and in cities across America) is fast approaching and I&amp;#x27;ve got some fundraising to do. Remember I gave a speech at the kickoff last month? It&amp;#x27;s not like I can show up on walk day empty handed. But, here&amp;#x27;s the problem: I&amp;#x27;ve been asking the same people to donate money over and over again for the past seven years. It&amp;#x27;s not that I&amp;#x27;m opposed to asking again (it&amp;#x27;s also not like I&amp;#x27;m asking for millions--or even hundreds) but I just think there might be a good way to go about it and I&amp;#x27;m not sure what it is. At the kick-off some of the LTN mentors addressed this question but I was so busy praying that Alex wouldn&amp;#x27;t screech and disrupt the whole place that I didn&amp;#x27;t pay attention. Plus, I want to hear what you guys think. I know a lot of you do your own fundraising for a slew of different organizations. How do you go about asking people to donate...again. Any and all ideas welcome! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
