Fundraising Tips

Online donations made easy

Once registered, you can customize your personal donation page by adding images and sharing your story as to why you're stepping up for prostate cancer. Own it! Don't forget to create a personalized URL for your page, so sharing online is easier for family and friends.

It takes a village

Anyone in your contact book is a potential donor. Build your network and ask for donations early and often. Most of our successful participants have said they've received donations from the least expected! Here are some people to keep in mind: family, friends, colleagues, alumni, neighbors, church groups, doctors and local businesses.

Be a social (media) butterfly

Think about this: if each one of your 300 Facebook friends gave you $5, you would have already exceeded your minimum! Isn't that an amazing proposition? E-mail your network and share training updates, fundraising updates and encourage them to forward your message to their networks. Don't forget to say "thank you"!

How to fundraise online

Fundraising online is a great way to track your efforts and keep your sponsors up to date on your progress. 

Register online and provide your email address, and you will automatically receive your very own fundraising web page. We have made it easier for you to collect sponsorship in support of Prostate Cancer, and to do so in a fast and fun way. Our online fundraising system allows you to customize your very own web page and to collect donations securely online.

Use your personal page to:

Send fundraising emails, upload photos into your scrolling gallery, view all of your sponsors and their messages of support, manage all online and offline donations. It also allows you to track other teams' fundraising efforts and keep abreast of who is moving up the fundraising leader board.
