Some helpful Tips & Tricks
Provide regular updates:
Keep your friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors posted on your Challenge and fundraising with photos, videos, and posts. They’ll definitely want to join you or donate to your event once they see how much this cause means to you.
Don’t be afraid to ask:
Social media is no place to be shy. Ask your network to donate to your Stronger Than Addiction Challenge fundraising efforts. Share how the money you raise will make a difference, changing the lives of those impacted by addiction.
Connect your fundraising page directly to a Facebook Fundraiser.
You can easily connect a Facebook fundraiser directly through your dashboard! This is the easiest way to reach your fundraising goal. Participants that connect to Facebook raise on average 5x more than those who don’t! IMPORTANT: For a Facebook Fundraiser to be credited to your fundraising efforts for the Stronger Than Addiction Challenge, it MUST be connected through your Participant Dashboard.
