Tips for Fundraising
AskThink of the people you can ask, who won’t say no: family, friends, co-workers. Get that first donation to start momentum. You can do it! The sooner you get started, the easier it will be to reach beyond $2,500.
Organize
Write down the names of all of the people in your life: family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, family doctor, auto mechanic...don’t leave anyone out. You know a lot of people.
After registering, you’ll receive a simple email template from us. You can use or adjust that language to your liking, then forward it to all of your contacts. They can click on a link in the email, taking them straight to your donation page, where they can give as much as they feel comfortable. Even better, personalize an email with the story about why you are committed to The Ride. Inspire your donors to support you.
Say thanks
Follow up with a phone call to everyone you emailed after a week to secure a donation, if they haven’t already donated online. Let them know their donation is appreciated--their generosity and your kindness helps extend the spirit and hope of this event.
You can also log in to your personal page online, where you will find emails already written, to send as follow ups and thank you's.
Reach people you’ve never met. Have everyone you email forward your donation request to their friends and family.
Use social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to share your journey and encourage others to support you.
Have family and friends distribute donation forms for you and talk to their contacts about supporting your Ride.
Ask for Corporate Support
Ask your workplace to support your epic journey.
Ask management if your company will contribute to your Ride either through a donation or even donation matching. Don’t be afraid to ask big.
If co-workers express an interest in The Ride, form a corporate team with your company’s support. Everyone will raise more money, and it’s excellent for boosting camaraderie.

Set Your Goals High
