How to fundraise
like a champ
Fundraising has always been an important part of Connor’s Run and this year is no exception. We need your support to help us change the odds for young people with brain cancer. By signing up for Connor’s Run you have made the first step, now we are here to help you make your FUNdraising efforts even more fun than run!
All you need to do is share with your friends, colleagues and family why you decided to take part. They’ll get right behind you because they’ll be proud that you want to make a difference for the #1 disease killer of kids.
This is where your I Will commitment comes in handy...let them know what you are doing in the month of September and ask for their support by donating to your page.
HAVE A CONVERSATION STARTER
Write on your page why you’re taking part in Connor’s Run. Making your story personable will help your friends, colleagues and family understand why they should get behind you.
IF ASKING IS NOT YOUR THING...
If you don’t feel comfortable asking for a donation, that's ok. You can also just share your training or your excitement for taking part in the lead up to the event. Encourage as many of your friends as you can to join you by signing up to Connor’s Run.
SET A GOAL YOU FEEL IS ATTAINABLE
The thing with brain matters is, every bit of funding makes an impact. So you don’t need to set a gigantic goal. Decide on something you feel is fun and motivating to reach. Maybe you'd love a Champ Bandana ($500), or a green tee ($1000). When you’ve reached that, you can decide whether you want to increase it further.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Be the first to donate to your page. "I did it, you can too" is a powerful motivator for others to throw their support behind you.
