1. Set a Goal!

When you register, you can choose a fundraising goal.

2. Make it manageable!

If you want to raise $100, that's only 10 people giving $10 each. Remember, if you surpass your goal, you can always set a new one!

3. Encourage competition.

Prizes or perks for the top fundraiser will give your teammates added incentive.
