Many business are willing to sponsor those that join these types of things so all you will have to do is seek out those sponsorships and show up to the event on the day it is held. You will be donating your time and energy but still be able to hang on to your own personal cash.
Don’t be discouraged because you feel as though cannot afford to donate cash to a worthy cause. Simply find ways that you can give back that do not involve cash at all and everyone will win.
