Fundraising Resources

Here are some tips for getting started with your Athletics / Team In Training fundraising efforts:

  1. Get the Ball Rolling
    • Make the first contribution. When others see you've donated, they're more likely to get involved.
  2. Share Your Why
    • Let your family and friends know why this matters to you, that’s what they care about most! The attached document, Telling Your Story, walks you through how to craft a compelling story on your personal fundraising page.
  3. Personalize Your Fundraising Page 
  4. Build Your Network
    • The attached document, Building Your Donor Network, helps you brainstorm a donor list that includes everyone from your closest friends and family to places you frequent in your community.
  5. Contact Your Network
    • Tip: Email your close contacts to get some early donations and build up some momentum.
    • Mail letters to your network. Take advantage of Team In Training’s fundraising letter mailing resource page here: https://llsorg.widen.net/s/jzdtpjqxjx/tnt-mailing-house-guide-new)
