Salt Creek 24 as a Fundraiser
Fundraising as a part of Salt Creek 24 is OPTIONAL, but we are excited to offer this opportunity for anyone who wants to participate. How does it work?
- During the registration process, choose the Fundraising option in the drop down for your chosen Event.
- When you get to the Fundraiser part of registration, choose a charity (more on that below) and customize your fundraiser information. You can also go back in after you finish registration and customize your fundraising page as much as you want!
- As you recruit donors, their donations will go directly into the bank account of your chosen charity - either right away if the donor gives an up-front donation, or later if they make a pledge per lap completed by you or your team.
We have a number of Charity Partners that you can choose from, or you can choose your own charity. Our current Charity Partners are:
- Peninsula Trails Coalition (Olympic Discovery Trail)
- North Olympic Land Trust
- North Olympic Healthcare Network
- 4PA
- Olympic Medical Center Foundation
- Seattle Children's Hospital
- Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
- Ainsley's Angels - West Sound Chapter
- Atlas Free
If you want to choose your own charity, please contact us at saltcreek24rd@gmail.com with the contact name and email address of your charity (you will need to contact them to see if they are interested first!) and we can get them set up as a choice before your register.
After you have created your fundraiser, start sharing! Donors can give a set amount right away, or they can make a pledge per lap completed. If you want to collect pledges per lap, you will need to go into your registration, click on Fundraiser, then Pledges, then Enable Pledges before going out to collect pledges. With pledges, after the race we will enter your laps and an email will be sent to your donors for them to complete payment. You may want to estimate your number of laps for your donors, or your team laps if you are on a fundraising team. Each fundraising person and team captain will have a fundraiser dashboard in RunSignUp under their registration, and can monitor their progress!
