Fundraising Tips
Once you’ve registered online, it’s time to get fundraising! While it may seem daunting at first, these tips and tricks will help you strengthen your fundraising efforts and support a good cause.
- Make a personal donation first
Be the first to donate to your team! Make your donation an example for your friends, family and coworkers to follow. They’ll be inspired by your personal commitment!
- Personalize your donation page
Use your personal donation page to tell others why you are raising money for mental health at Michael Garron Hospital. Share a personal story, or how you’re connected to the cause.
- Shout it from the rooftops!
Let people know that you are participating in the tournament and why! Share it on your social media and let your networks know that it is a fundraising tournament to support your local community hospital in East Toronto!
- Ask and you will receive
Make sure you ask your coworkers, classmates, family and friends to donate using the online email tools. Send a personal note asking them to donate to your fundraising efforts, and tell them why the very best mental health care in your community is important to you. That will help rally their enthusiasm!
- Set your goals high
Think big! Raising money for this cause is a personal commitment but it’s also empowering. Consider the impact of your fundraising for those affected by mental health and addiction, and challenge your initial goals! Go to your personal fundraising page to update your fundraising goal at any time.
- Think outside the box!
Get creative with your fundraising! Host a World Cup viewing party and ask everyone to bring a small donation. Have coworkers donate to participate in casual Fridays at the office. Host a pub crawl and challenge people to dress up! The possibilities are endless, and everyone is reminded they are donating to a worthy cause.
