Fundraising Tips to help you reach your Goal!

1. Send a quick text

Text family/friends asking them to support your fundraiser! Here’s a template you can use, just copy & paste:

“Hi ____, I’m fundraising for The California Great Santa Stroll on December 11th that benefits Mychal’s Learning Place, an organization providing programs and job training to individuals with special needs. I would be grateful if you considered donating to support these students and help me reach my goal! Thank you so much!”

*Don’t forget to send the link to your fundraising page!

2. Write an email

Send an email to family/friends asking them to join your team & participate in the Santa Stroll or support your fundraiser! Here’s a brief example, just copy and paste:

“Hi ____,

I’m participating in The California Great Santa Stroll on Saturday, December 11th at the Hermosa Pier Plaza. This event benefits Mychal’s Learning Place, an organization providing programs and job training to individuals with special needs.

I would love for you to join my team and stroll with me! You can head to my team page [include link here] and click “Donate” or “Stroll Only” to register. If you can’t make it, I would be so appreciative of any donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. Please consider supporting these students & Mychal’s Learning Place, this is will be such a fun, festive morning with the community! Thank you very much and Happy Holidays!”

*Don’t forget to include the link to your fundraising page!

3. Post on social media!

There’s a new feature on Instagram that allows you to share a link in a story, this is super exciting! Feel free to use our graphics below (just drag them to your desktop) & don’t forget to add your link before posting! Tag friends & family in posts with your fundraising page to ask for support, every $1 makes a difference!

4. Share Videos

Share videos from Mychal’s Youtube page or videos you create explaining what the Santa Stroll event is and why you are fundraising.

5. Donation Bingo posts!

This is a fun way to ask for donations on social media! Post this Bingo template (just drag it to your desktop) that asks people to help you fill your board by Venmoing a donation. As Venmo’s come in, you can add their handles to the appropriate gift and post a new version of the board to show your progress. If you fill all the gifts with at least one handle, you will raise $150! You can then donate the $150+ directly to your fundraising page.

*Don’t forget to include your Venmo handle! You can also include a link directly to your fundraising page.
