Fundraising Tips
- By far, the fastest and easiest way to raise money is to use your online fundraising page. When you register for the tournament, a fundraising web page will automatically be set up for you and log on information will be emailed. Simply send an email or mail a letter (see a sample letter) to your friends, family, and co-workers with the link to your website and they can quickly and safely make a contribution online. Funds will be credited to you and you don't have to do anything else. Your donors even get a receipt instantly online! Very simple and quick to use.
- Share your connection to the cause. If you or someone you know has battled a blood cancer, do the event in their honor.
- Set a goal, then reach it in manageable steps. To raise $500:
| Ask | Amount | Total |
| Yourself | 1 x $25 | $25 |
| Three family members | 3 x $25 | $75 |
| Five friends | 5 x $25 | $125 |
| Five coworkers | 5 x $25 | $125 |
| A few neighbors | 4 x $25 | $100 |
| Someone from your book club or athletic team | 1 x $25 | $25 |
| Your hairdresser, dry cleaner or doctor | 1 x $25 | $25 |
| | $500 |
- Remember to ask donors if their company has a matching gift program. Matching gifts can double (or even triple) the original donation amount.
