Celebrity Spokesperson
A celebrity spokesperson or honorary spokesperson can help the cause in many ways that do not involve making appearances or substantial time or commitment. It is helpful to brief the spokespeople about the condition and organization so that when they do make appearances, they can speak knowledgeably and confidently.
- Wear an organization pin when making appearances
- Donate autographed items for fundraisers
- Write a "dear" friend letter to their friends to raise funds
- Arrange for a "day" on the set of a movie or TV program they are filming
- Give an interview for your newsletter
- Testify before Congress in Washington on behalf of your condition
- Make an annual donation to your organization
