Now that you’re listed as a fundraiser, it’s time to tell your story. Your friends and family are far more likely to donate if they see why you care about this issue…so be YOU!

Click on your profile photo in the upper right, then click “Manage” next to your fundraising campaign.

You’ll have the option to write a personal appeal to your donors in the “Biography” box.
