Step #2
Personalize Your Page

Fundraisers who personalize their page raise five times more than those who don’t. Imagine how your fundraising totals will soar! Every dollar raised helps support your community and those living with substance use disorder.

  • Set your fundraising goal (AIM HIGH!) and make a self-donation.
  • Update your profile picture and banner image.
  • Tell your story and/or share your reason for supporting Shatterproof.


Step #3
Raise Awareness

Now that your page is personalized, you're ready to spread the word! Invite your friends, family, and community to support you.

  • Send your newly personalized page to your friends, family, and co-workers.
  • Short on time? No problem! Use the email, social, and text templates provided through your fundraising dashboard.
  • Ask your network to match your self-donation, or gift a gift of any size gift that's personally meaningful to them.

The number one reason people don't give to a fundraiser is because they aren't asked! Fundraising is all about connections and letting your supporters know the impact their gift will make—no matter the amount.


Step #4
Celebrate Your Success

The Shatterproof Walk is the nation’s largest platform for educating, empowering, and supporting the greatest number of individuals impacted by addiction and YOU are a major part of this event's impact.

Celebrating and sharing your fundraising success will inspire others to get involved!

  • Genuinely thank your donors when they support you and invite them to be a part of your team. Even if they don’t fundraise themselves, include them.
  • Share your fundraising milestones and thank your donors for helping you reach them.
  • Find out if your company or your supporters’ workplace offers matching gifts.
