Benefits of Participating
- You’ll being helping homeless youth who have never gotten the support that they deserve and need. That’s got to count for something.
- It motivates you to achieve a goal. Participants have told us many tales of accomplishing goals they had struggled with for years.
- Your friends will think you are a good human being, even though you are doing something that is focused on improving yourself. This is a neat trick.
- It feels really good to have the people in your life rooting for you to accomplish something. Whether or not they give money, you’ll get warm fuzzies when they encourage you on.
- Your odds of winning the lottery will increase significantly. We lack the statistical data to back up this assertion, but we know it to be true.
Don’t take it from us, here are the words of former participants:
- “Everybody has that one thing on their list… that “I should do this”… ”I want to do this”… and the I Think I Can campaign can seriously help you achieve that goal… all the while helping ATC. It’s a double whammy good deal.” —Laura Firestone, 2009 Participant
- “This was about the easiest fundraising campaign we've ever participated in. Effortless, really, but what fun it was to watch the goal be reached.” —Camille Dungy and Ray Black, 2010 Participants
- “The campaign prompted me to do something I’d been meaning to do. It provided a mechanism to help others. It also provided a mechanism to make fun of myself publicly, which I think my friends appreciated.” –Bayliss Camp, 2010 Participant
- “The feeling of reaching out to my community and getting support in return was really, really inspiring and motivating.” –Abby Conover, 2010 Participant
- “The campaign was surprisingly easy to raise money with, especially for someone who is super busy.” –Amanda Stein, 2010 Participant
- “I would give up sex, chocolate, and TV before giving up the I Think I Can Campaign” —Okay, we made this one up
