Fundraising Tools
MAKE A DONATION. Giving a gift to your own fundraising campaign shows your supporters how passionate you are about unlocking the mystery of ALS.
RECRUIT FRIENDS. The more people that join your team, the more people you can educate about our cause and the bigger the impact you can have in the fight against ALS.
SHARE YOUR STORY. When you update your personal page with your personal ALS story, you show your supporters why providing care and finding a cure is so important to you.
CONNECT TO FACEBOOK. Connecting your personal fundraiser with your Facebook account allows you to share your fundraiser with even more people and helps you reach your goal even faster!
SEND EMAILS. The email tool in your participant center makes it easy to reach out to your contacts and ask them to join you at the event or support your cause with a donation. Don’t forget to thank them, too!
CUSTOMIZE YOUR URL. Update your custom URL so you can easily share it with your supporters, post it on social media, or even add it into your email signature!
