Last-Minute Online Fundraising
July 8, 2009
It’s not to late to harness the power of electronic communication and raise money with Relay Online. Relay is just two days away, but there’s still time to send out a last-minute fund-raising email.
Perhaps you registered for Relay Online, but didn’t get around to importing your address book and taking advantage of the pre-formatted emails. But you can still raise money online. Here’s the ‘low-tech’ way to drum up some donations.
1. Rummage through the address book in your email application and create a message friends or family, even if they are far from Rochester. (Did you know that the number one reason people do not donate to charity is that no one ever asked them!)
2. In the message, include this link: http://www.events.cancer.org/rflolmstedcountymn
3. Ask the recipient of your message to click “Donate” and then search for your name as a participant.
4. They take it from there, and can help add to your individual and team totals.
Good luck, and I look forward to seeing out at Relay! Remember to stay tuned to the blog for the latest information on Relay!
