| 03/24/2024 | I have done fundraising in the past, primarily for Breast Cancer Awareness - another foundation and cause that is so important to me - through events that I helped to set up in both high school and college. I do not have any concerns about being able to raise the minimum and beyond for this foundation. My dad has only recently started telling those outside of our immediate family and closest friends about his diagnosis, finally letting go of the shame he felt, and everyone's first question is always - how can we help? I know there are so many people who are looking for an opportunity to help my dad and the Parkinson's Foundation. |
| 02/05/2024 | I have participated in fundraising for a non-profit I am in called the Storytelling Guild but I have not not done much else. I intend to start by asking all my family that loves and supports my grandpa and then I will call on my running community. I have asked my friends for their advice if I should finally do something like this and many have already made pledges and offers of donations. I have an idea of asking for sponsors of my running parts (legs, heart, lungs, pumping arms). I am excited to try many ideas and work hard to get the minimum.

| 02/29/2024 | I have been involved with fundraisers for my son's scout troop most recently .

Along using social media as a tool to tell my story and to reach friends and family for support, I will also offer perks for donations (ie. choosing my costume for my race, choosing a song for my playlist, etc.). I have donation matching from my employer, which would also be a great help to hitting my goal. Other ideas include setting up a raffle and selling some hand crafted items. |
| 03/20/2024 | Boston marathon 2016, Chicago marathon 2017. I will seek funds from friends and family. They have always been very generous with my races. I raised over $7000 for Boston through holding fundraising events. |
| 03/20/2024 | I work in full time ministry. I have done many fundraisers. Everything from simply asking for donations to getting creative! One of my favorite is our "cutest pumpkin in the patch" where we have our congregation vote on decorated pumpkins. Every $1= one vote! |
| 03/24/2024 | I raised money on my own last year but now I want to run with others...be in a community. I have already raised $1k for this race and will continue to get donations, sponsor a mile and pick my playlist. I'm always searching for new and fun ways to fundraise! |
| 04/13/2024 | I have fundraised in the past for jewish organizations with my family. I plan to raise the minimum for my races using various networks that I am a part of.

| 04/10/2024 | I am an avid runner and typically run on behalf of a charity for my races including the following teams: Every Mother Counts, Fred's Team, Breast Cancer, No Kid Hungry, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, among others. I plan to utilize the same tactics as I always have, using my social media platform as well as the good old fashion basic communication. While not the most creative, I have found the latter the most meaningful and often most successful as I often learn and hear people's personal stories related to the issue or organization I am running for. |
| 04/10/2024 | It's been a while since I have fundraised, but I plan to do so through social media. I usually meet my goals. |
| 04/10/2024 | We own our own business and have donated to many charities over the years. One avenue will be our company's donation. Plus my daughter's and I will find other ways to raise funds - bake sales, find other company sponsors, share our fund raising page to all our social media, etc. |

| 04/12/2024 | Most of my previous fundraising experience has been through sports teams I have played on throughout my life. I find that social media is a great way to fundraise, as its an easy way to share your story, the meaning behind the fundraiser, and to share among the largest group in the quickest way. However, other opportunities like fundraising at work (with a company that loves to fundraise) is another way to achieve this goal. |
| 04/12/2024 | Looking to earn between 3 and 5 thousand |

| 04/16/2024 | I have not had much fundraising experience in the past, however, I have thought about ways that I could raise even more than the minimum for these particular races. One, I believe that the power of social media is endless. Through various social media channels, I think that I can get engagement and raise awareness. Secondly, my friends, family, and coworkers have all been extremely supportive on my running journey. I do not doubt that they will continue to be supportive. I could host a post-work happy hour and partner with a local bar or brewery and have a percentage of the proceeds go towards Parkinson's Champions for my race. I could also have people donate $5-$10 to add a song to my playlist while I run and I have to listen to it. Lastly, I could hold a small 5k race and ask people to donate $20 as an entry fee. This could be super casual, but a way to get people involved in running and also for a great cause. I think that there are many super creative ways to fundraise and get people involved. |
| 04/17/2024 | Run for many years with the Scott Carter foundation. |
| 04/18/2024 | I have not done many fundraisers myself. I have generous and knowledgeable friends and family - my best friend has worked in fundraising as have my cousin and aunt so I will rely on them for advice.

I will also approach some local businesses and craft people that I know for assistance. |

| 06/06/2024 | In 2019, I was a rider for Texas 4000 for Cancer, a non-profit organization that has a group of students bike from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska to raise money for cancer research and support services. I personally raised over $10,000 and was the Fundraising Chair for our team and got us to raise over $1 million- a organization record. I am passionate about Parkinson's research the way that I am about cancer research, especially given my ties to the medical field. I have a strong background of fundraising experience which enabled me to be tactical about social media outreach, in person fundraising events, as well as leveraging donation matching programs. Here is a link with my Texas 4000 rider profile, if you're curious about what I did and why: https://www.texas4000.org/rider/2019/rockies/kavya-arvind/ |

Ad Astra girls' mission was to support young girls in STEM -- 100% of profits from selling STEM-themed bracelets went to 6 amazing charities. I love to raise money for causes I feel passionate about, and the Parkinson's challenge is raising money for one I am hoping to support inside and outside of my career in the future. As for how I raise money, I am skilled in social media outreach and also have many communication channels into the University of Pennsylvania community. I would likely use those strategies along with word of mouth to reach my goal! |

| 06/25/2024 | ChatGPT Although I have never fundraised for a race, I have previously fundraised for other charities through my sorority. I am confident I would be able to meet the minimum for my particular race because raising money for Parkinson's disease is incredibly important to my family and community since my grandmother's passing. When my grandmother passed away, my parents, family, and friends made it their mission to raise money for organizations that help research and learn about Parkinson's. I know my community would rally behind me to fundraise for Parkinson's Champions. |
