Raising funds to look after Australian hearts can be easy and fun!
The first step is to set a fundraising goal. This gives you something to aim for and will encourage your
friends and family to be generous in their support.
Next, personalise your page. Upload a photo and tell people why you’re taking part.
Spread the word. Our resources page has plenty of social media tiles and other resources to help you ask for support and share your wins.
Your Impact
Here are some more tips and ideas to help get you started:
- Save the date – add the start date of 1 July in your calendar.
- Make a donation – kick start your fundraising by making the first donation. If you back yourself, others are more likely to back you too!
- Personalise your page – upload a photo and tell people why you’re taking part. Then keep your supporters up to date with your progress by posting regular updates.
- Don’t be shy! – send regular messages to your friends and family asking them to support you. Then reach out beyond your inner circle – ask colleagues and your community to donate.
- Spread the word – via SMS, Messenger (see below for ideas!), emails and tagging people on your social channels.
- Create a Facebook Fundraiser - this feature is available through your Run to Zero dashboard and can help turbocharge your fundraising. This will create a linked Facebook fundraiser to your Run to Zero fundraising page that allows your friends and family to donate to you while they scroll social media!
