How to Fundraise

Your entry fee gets you to the starting line.  Your fundraising gets us to the cures! 

 What that means is, only the money that is raised above and beyond your entry fee helps fund the services that will save women’s lives and the research that will help us find the cures for breast cancer.  So, fundraising is the key!

And the key to successful fundraising is simple...if you don't A - S - K, you won't G - E - T. 

When you registered, you automatically received your own fundraising website.  Start now by logging in to the Participant Center and personalizing your page.  There, you’ll find online tools, such as templates to make sending e-mails to family and friends as easy as can be!  

The Fundraising Program will remain open after the Race through June 7, 2011, and all donations received by then will be credited toward your fundraising goal, your Incentive Prize total, and Team and Individual Fundraising Awards totals.  So, be sure to check your participant center page frequently for new donations and messages!   

 Matching Gifts

Check with your employer to see if they offer a Matching Gift program.  This is a great way to increase your contribution!
Please note that Matching Gift dollars will not show up on your thermometer and counted toward your total until the actual gift is received.

For questions or more information on fundraising, please contact one of our Fundraising Co-Chairs, JoAnn Gibson (joann.gibson@stephens.com) or Diana Parrish (Parrishnon@aol.com).
