Start Fundraising
THINK ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW
Along with friends and family, you have acquaintances, current and former colleagues, fellow alumni, community and religious groups, neighbors, and even businesses you frequent. Share your fundraising link! Given the opportunity, most people are happy to contribute. Don’t hesitate to ask!
HOW TO ASK FOR DONATIONS
Social media channels have made fundraising user-friendly, allowing you to message everyone in your group. You can reinforce this through text, phone, email, or in person. Make sure everyone knows how much this cause means to you.
To help boost your fundraising during the challenge, try these examples of what to say and when to say it:
WEEK 1 – 5/10/25 (Kickoff Day)
Why I’m [walking/riding] for a future without LAM
Share your story with photos or a video. Email, text, and/or message your donor circle. Make a self-donation to encourage others. Post a link to your online fundraising post/site and let everyone know that no donation is too small.
WEEK 2 – 5/17/25
Reminder: My Million Dollar Bike Ride fundraiser is underway – join me!
Ask five family members, ten close friends, and four neighbors to each make a $25 donation. Ask ten members from a house of worship or community group to chip in $5 each.
WEEK 3 – 5/24/25
Here’s a status report on what we need to reach our goal
Update your social circle on your progress. Share photos or videos of you preparing for the ride/walk. Reach out to three local businesses you use, like dry cleaners, coffee shops, nail salons, and hair stylists, to give $25 each.
WEEK 4 – 5/31/25
Last chance to help me [ride/walk] for a future without LAM
