Tips on asking for donations
The number one reason people donate is because they've been asked by someone they know. Here are a few fundraising tips to get you started!
- Share your reason to Fondo with your circle of friends and family. The fact that 100% of every dollar you raise goes directly to MSU skin cancer awareness, prevention and research is a big deal.
- Update your Facebook cover photo. Visit the "Graphics" tab to download a MSU Gran Fondo cover photo.
- Personalize your Race Roster profile page with photos and write about your connection to the mission. NOTE: If you are a returning participant, be sure to update any specific information you shared from last year's event.
- Tell others how their support can make a difference! Because of the MSU Gran Fondo, skin cancer researchers have:
- Discovered a promising new drug that could prevent the spread of melanoma,
- Identified drug combinations that improve treatment,
- And conducted other promising research.
- Send donation requests through Race Roster. Click on the email icon on your participant page then add email addresses and a personalized message.
