Thank You for Creating a Fundraising Page

Welcome and Thank You!

Thank you for choosing to give your time and energy to help make our Support-A-Walk for Breast & Ovarian Cancer a success. We are so grateful for your help! The purpose of this blog is to share some ideas and tips to make it easier for you to help us make this year's Walk the best one ever!

The Support-A-Walk has TWO important missions: To raise funds needed for the FREE help Support Connection gives to those whose lives have been turned upside down by breast or ovarian cancer; and to bring attention to the needs of people affected by these diseases. Our hope is that one day there will be no need for such events, but until that time, Support Connection's goal is that no one should walk this path alone.

Firstgiving Post-Walk Update

Hello Firstgiving fundraisers! Our 21st Annual Support-A-Walk on Oct. 4, 2015 was an AMAZING morning filled with celebration, support and inspiration. To those who attended, and all who donated and raised funds, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! We are SO grateful for all you've done!

We have some important news to share: YOUR FUNDRAISING PAGE CONTINUES TO ACCEPT DONATIONS THROUGH THE END OF THIS YEAR! This means you can continue to request and receive donations even though the Walk has taken place.

Here are some ideas for fundraising AFTER the Walk:

DIDN'T MEET YOUR GOAL? Ask people to help you reach it!

WERE YOU AT THE WALK? Tell people what an amazing morning it was, and why. If you took photos, put one on your fundraising page.

TRIBUTE DONATIONS: Inform people they can donate in honor or memory of someone in their life.

THANK YOU'S: Don't forget to thank those who donated. Tell them the impact they've had on thousands of people fighting breast and ovarian cancer, and ask them to forward your page to others who may want to help.

In all correspondence, let people know your page is still accepting donations and the sky's the limit!

REMEMBER: Always include the link to YOUR fundraising page. It's at the top of YOUR page and starts with www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/YOURPAGENAME/walk2015.....

NOT SURE HOW TO FIND YOUR PAGE? Click here and search for your name.
