MOTION isn’t just a conference.

Garage Sales
Hosting or participating in a garage sale is an easy and effective way to raise money. Donations are often simple to gather from family and friends.
Candy Bar Sales
Purchase bulk boxes of candy bars from stores such as Sam’s Club, Costco, or BJ’s and resell them for $2–$3 each to earn extra funds.
