Fundraising

We will be starting our fundraising next Tuesday, August, 23rd, using the company Snap! Raise.  This is a company we have used in the past and have been successful ($4000 in one month).  What it basically is, is a campaign that is created just for our program that then gets sent out to the email addresses that the runners have put together asking for funds.  It eliminates the door to door selling of an item or purchasing something that someone may not want and allows people/relatives that may live far away the opportunity to contribute and contribute as little or as much as they would like.  All the runners will need to do is enter email addresses of people they would like to ask funds for as well as post a link to our team Snap! page on any social media they may be a part of, to ask for donations.  

The one question and concern that most people have in regards to this type of funding is if the company will be using these email addresses and that people will be getting a ton of spam in their email.  They will not.  The company will not be selling these email addresses and they will be used for this campaign, and this campaign only.  

Below is a link to our team page for Snap! that the runners will need to go into and set up their profiles and get their emails prepared as well as the info sheet that we were given and handed out to the runners at practice today.  As mentioned, everything will start on Tuesday, but we would like to have everything set up as soon as possible.  Also, this will be a campaign that will be open until Sep 20th, so if someone is not able to donate right away, they will have time.

Lastly, we would like to aim for the $4000 range again this year.  Those funds will be used to help purchase a timing system that we would like to purchase for the use in practices.

If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
