CUSTOMIZE YOUR PAGE
Telling your personal story on your page is so important to engaging your family and friends to help you raise money. Upload a great photo to make your page look amazing. You can customize everything quickly and easily. You should do this before you share your page with your family and friends.
SHARE YOUR PAGE
Send the link to your 12th Annual ASK 5k & Fun Walk team page to your family and friends, and ask them to JOIN or DONATE. If they join the team, they will also have their own fundraising page that will support the team’s overall goal. Remind them to also customize their page and tell their story.
POST UPDATES
Updating your supporters is key to raising more money and meeting your goal -- and perhaps winning a spot in a Top Team VIP Tent or award for Highest Fundraising Individual. Fancy schmancy!
EXAMPLES OF POST TEAM UPDATES
1. General Updates: “We just reached $1,000! Woo hoo!”
2. Quick Call to Action: “Tomorrow is the big day! Give now to help us win a Top Team prize!”
3. Personal Stories: “Christopher’s next chemo treatment is on Friday. Thanks for thinking of us.”
4. Show Impact: “Because of your gifts, ASK is can we were able to rebuild the Smith’s home.”
5. Send thank yous to all of your supporters: “We did it! Thanks so much for your support!.”
