Hello Team! Thank you so much to each of you for your tremendous fundraising efforts. We were set to podium (we held steady in 3rd place) but a new SUPER STAR team has signed up and they have rocketed into first pushing us out of the upper ranks. We have 10 days left to raise a few more dollars so we remain in the top 5! Here are a few tried and true fundraising tips:
1. Ask folks directly for an amount -"Hey uncle john, can you please donate $10 to my fundriaser? Here is the link"
2. "Get 5" - Get 5 is the idea that if you can get 5 donations, you'll be well on your way. That's it. Your goal is simply to get 5 donations!
3. Passive fundraising - this can work but you have to do it often: create a post on IG or Facebook and remove as many barriers to donating as possible. That means sharing the link directly to the donate page (HMU I can show you how to do this)

Happy Valentines Day - let's show love to the vulnerable folks in the DTES by raising $$ to provide life saving services. 

Love Alice
