Tip 01 – 100%
Make sure to tell all of your donors that 100% of their donation to Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation’s mission in directing funds to childhood cancer research and support our Hope Tote program.
Tip 02 – Change Your Mindset
While you are asking for money, remember that you are giving people the opportunity to make a tangible impact in the fight against childhood cancers.
Tip 03 – Rally Your Team
Create a group e-mail chain or a Facebook group to share stories, words of encouragement and hashtags #TeamGStrong #fightchildhoodcancer #RRW #rallyintheredwoods. If you have teammates, encourage them to do the same!
Tip 04 – Give to Yourself
The best way to encourage others to give is to see that you’ve donated to your own efforts first! Make a kickoff gift!
Tip 05 – Make it Personal
Tell YOUR story about why you ride. The Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation’s fundraising letter will provide you with specific language but the more personal you make your asks, the more people will relate because everyone has been touched by childhood cancer.
Tip 06 – Ask, Ask, Ask!
You don’t get what you don’t ask for, so make sure you are asking! Donations don’t always come from where you expect them to, so cast a wide net and make each ask personal. Remember, persistence is hard to deny!
