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. Download our sample letter (PDF | Word) for ideas and be sure to include a return envelope if you mail it.
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 stay tuned to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to find out about contests, news, and more!
