Fundraising Tips

Once you’ve registered for a Great Strides walk, it’s time to start your fundraising campaign!

Raising funds is easy once you get started. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be well on your way to meeting and exceeding your fundraising goal!

  1. Set your personal fundraising goal. Become a Top Strider or Top Team by setting a personal goal of $650 and a team goal of $5,000.
  2. Make a personal donation. It's a great way to show your supporters that you are committed to the cause.
  3. Ask your friends and family to support the cause by walking on your team or making a donation. The more support you have, the easier it will be to reach your goal.
  4. Download the Fight CF mobile application to: send messages to your supporters through text, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, and email, track your physical activity and progress compared to fellow participants, easily deposit check donations, and access your phone contacts to make personal asks.
  5. Fundraise online by leveraging the tools in the Participant Center, and Facebook to reach your goal. Create a virtual passion fundraising event by developing a fundraising event through your favorite hobby, activity, or passion.
  6. Team T-Shirts -- Stand out on event day with team t-shirts. By registering for this event you are allowed to use the event logo per the Participant Logo Use Agreement* at the bottom of this page. You can use the agreement to show your t-shirt printer if they have any concerns about using the event trademarked logo. Contact your local office/event coordinator if you have any questions or issues.
