Tip #1 - Let's get started

Just a quick note to everyone who helped raise funds for our Walk last year. Whether you were a Team Captain, raised funds online with a Firstgiving fundraising page, or BOTH: the donations you obtained made a tremendous difference! We rely on your donations to fund our free services that support people living with breast and ovarian cancer - you should be so proud of your contributions!

We invite you to help again by creating a Firstgiving page for our 17th Annual Support-A-Walk on October 2, 2011. Our 2011 Firstgiving start page is ready to go. If you're one of the "earlybirds" and have already started gathering donations, thank you! If not, it's not too early to start!

Just go to our Firstgiving Support-A-Walk page. Click "Join Now." At Firstgiving this year, you can register online for the Walk and create a new fundraising page for 2011. Then, you're ready to start fundraising!

SOME TIPS:
  • Teams are "new" each year on Firstgiving. As you register and set up your fundraising page, check to see if your team has been started yet for 2011 by selecting “Show All Teams.” If your team isn’t listed, “Add a New Team” by typing in your team name.
  • If you had a fundraising page last year and want to COPY the text and photos from that page: Sign into Firstgiving, then click on "Your Fundraising" at the top of the screen. You'll see a link to any previous pages you created. Open the page you want to copy, then "copy and paste" any info you'd like to use again this year.
