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.
