Race Fundraising
Maximizing your fundraising page
We are grateful you are joining us for the big event. In this step, we have some more fundraising tips and tricks for you. Before we get into that, definitely make sure you reference the last step regarding creating your connected facebook fundraising page as those who do this raise on average $250.
This step in the series will focus on taking the facebook fundraiser to the next level.
-
Invite your friends to give. Based on your goal amount, facebook will recommend how many people to invite to give in order to reach your goal. They make it very easy for you to click through these invites. When you do choose to invite someone to give, they will receive a notification on facebook and also a reminder at a later date if they haven’t given.
-
Post in the fundraiser. Ramp up your posts in your facebook fundraising page as the event nears. Here’s a suggested order you could use for your posts
-
Welcome - educate your friends and family to what you are doing and why it’s important to you.
-
Introduce your teammates. As you are assigned to your teammates for the big event, introduce them to your friends and family with a post.

Training updates. As you personally are training or you are training for your teammates, post pictures, videos or even do a live video about your progress. Keep them involved in the process.
