Pro Tip: start with a small self-donation to show you’re in. It sets the tone and inspires others to give.
Your personal FundHub page is where donors give. Add a smiling photo, a short “why I’m walking” message (2–3 sentences), and a clear goal. Make it personal—people give to people.
Great fundraising is honest and simple. Use the FundHub email templates, then make it yours and include your page link.
A strong email is:
Start with five people you know will cheer you on (that’s the Get5 strategy). Then add more names.
Think: family (parents, siblings, grandparents), friends (close pals, teammates, colleagues), community (neighbours, coach, teacher, faith/community contacts).
Need ideas? Check the Fundraising Ideas list for quick wins and creative asks.
Send individual emails or texts—people respond to personal notes. Copy/paste your core message, then tweak the opening line and one detail so it feels truly for them. Follow up kindly a week later if you haven’t heard back.
Reply with a quick thank-you by email/text or a short call. Gratitude builds momentum now—and makes next year’s “yes” easier.
You’ve got this—small, personal asks add up fast.
