Join hosts Brooke and Elena as they discuss Fundraising, using the WAGS of SCI Self Care Walk/Run as a case study in how you can fundraise for pretty much anything you really care about. Why is fundraising important? The women discuss their own tips, tricks and advice for personal cause fundraising and where the funds go that are raised for WAGS of SCI. How can you apply these experiences in your own times of need and use your own voice and networks to help others?
