Your Fundraising PageOnce you register you will receive an email with the link to your very own fund raising page. If you selected to join a specific team it should be linked into that team. The donations you receive against your page will roll up onto the team page and be reflected in the team’s numbers. Your friends can find your site quickly at the link you received when you registered. This has proven to be a great way for your sponsors to donate. They click on your link from your Facebook page or email, quickly end up at your personalized page, make their donation and immediately see your donation total increase and can see their name as a contributor. As an example, here’s a look at Anton’s individual page.
You can upload your own photo and load your own text. There’s also page layout options which include an graphic showing % of funds towards your goal. From your set up page you can launch emails and review donations you’ve received. Minimum Goal: The primary purpose of Hike For A Cure is to raise funds for research into a cure for histiocytosis. We ask that each adult that joins the hike commit to raise a minimum of $500. Our goal is to raise >$200K this year – that’s a big number! However when we each do our part the sum of our actions is significant indeed! Special Incentives for Fund Raising: We want to recognize you for your success in fund raising. When you arrive in Yosemite we’ll have some special mementos that you can proudly where throughout the weekend: Large Donations: Active.com is a very convenient way for us to collect donations and we highly encourage your donors to contribute online. However, we pay a fee for each donation which gets expensive for large contributions. For donations of $500 or higher, we encourage your donor to write a check and you or they can mail it directly to: The Histio CURE Foundation Let us know which webpage to credit it to! Checks & Cash: Other checks you receive can be mailed here as well. If you receive cash, please deposit it in your account and write a check to HCF. Let us know which webpage to credit each check to and we’ll get them loaded right away. Team Pages: A “team” is a great way to tie together the fund raising efforts from a group focused on the same objective. Typically a family will form a team. A group of friends might form a team (and compete against another group of friends). I tight knit group hiking on behalf of a Histio Hero might come together to form a large team. One individual creates the team when registering by registering as a “Team Captain”. This person is responsible for setting up the team fund raising page. Subsequent individuals registering register as a team member and selects the team name established by the Team Captain. Problems: If you have any problems setting up your individual page or problems being linked to a desired team page you can contact Active.com directly at Active Customer Support: 1-877-228-4881. |
