As you gear up for the 2023 Hike & Bike, we understand fundraising can be a new experience for some participants. We’ve put together these easy-to-follow tips to help you succeed in your fundraising journey. 🚴‍♂️🥾

5 Simple Fundraising Tips

  1. Share your personal story: Let people know why you’re participating and what it means to you. This will help them connect with your fundraising efforts on a deeper level.
  2. Set a fundraising goal: Choose a specific amount you’d like to raise and share it with your friends and family. This will give them an idea of what you’re aiming for and encourage them to contribute.
  3. Use social media: Post about your fundraising efforts on your social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. PRO TIP: Ask your friends and family to share your posts to help spread the word.
  4. Keep everyone updated: Regularly share your progress and milestones you reach with your supporters. This will show the impact of their donations and encourage others to contribute as well. Check your Participant Centre for preset email templates to use (you have be registered and logged in)!  
  5. Say thank you: Always remember to express gratitude to those who donate. A simple thank-you message can make them feel appreciated and more likely to support you in the future. Its also nice 🙂

Good luck, and see you on May 28th!
