Have you asked people to donate to your page yet? It's never too early to start! We rely on these donations as we receive them, to sustain our free services.
Need tips about asking for donations? Here are just a few:
Ask everyone you know: Email all the people in your address book and ask them to support your fundraising. For a basic email sample, click here. Remember to include the link to your fundraising page. ("http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/etc....")
Tell people why you care: One person wrote "Please contribute to Support Connection to help families like my own deal with the devastation that follows a cancer diagnosis." She explained her personal connection to our cause. Maybe you or someone you know has been affected by breast or ovarian cancer. Maybe you've volunteered for us. Or maybe you just want to make a difference in the lives of the people we help. Share your commitment, your passion!
Set a goal: Choose a fundraising goal (you can post it on your page) then ask people to help you meet it. Set a goal you think you can reach. As you get close, update friends and family, and ask them to help you reach or surpass it! And if you do reach your goal, you can easily raise it and continue fundraising against your new goal.
