This year we are asking every registered walker to CHALLENGE themselves by asking 10 friends for $10 and raising at least $100 each! Read these tips to learn how to reach your fundraising potential.
Need an incentive? We're giving a free t-shirt to everyone who raises $100 or more by the day of the walk!
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 Sickle Cell Awareness 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. 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. Let us know if you want a sample letter to help you get started. 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 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.
