In our FIFTH year, we are asking every registered walker to CHALLENGE themselves by asking 10 friends for $20 and raising at least $200 each!  Read these tips to learn how to reach your fundraising potential.

Check out our exclusive Hope & Heroes Walk tools you can use to help you rise to the challenge!

Tip 1: Set A Goal
Base your goal on how much you want to raise to support Hope & Heroes and what fundraising incentive you would like to earn. Challenge yourself…you will be pleasantly surprised to find that it is easier and more rewarding than you first thought!

Tip 2: Use Your Personal Fundraising Page
Once you register, you will automatically be sent an email which will link you to your online fundraising page. This tool is a great way to ask your family, friends & colleagues to support you by sharing your personal story on why you are involved with the Hope & Heroes Walk. You can personalize your page by adding text and pictures - even videos and blog posts. Once you are ready, you can share it via email with everyone you know. See the Hope & Heroes Walk tutorials for more information. If you're already registered, login to your Participant Center to get started.

Tip 3: Write A Letter 
Letters are another great way to raise funds and let everyone know that you are walking. See our sample letter for ideas and be sure to include a return envelope.

Tip 4: Go Social
Share your participation in the Walk - along with a link to your Personal Fundraising Page - on Facebook and the other social networks you engage with. Tell your friends what you're doing for Hope & Heroes - and why. Also, remember to like the Hope & Heroes Walk page on Facebook and join the conversation. 

Tip 5: Don’t Be Afraid To Ask!
Your family members, friends and co-workers will want to support your efforts so don’t hesitate to give them the opportunity to help. See below for a great in-person fundraising plan and start online today or click here to download a donation form.
