If this is your first time fundraising, asking for donations might feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. The people in your life genuinely want to support you. Start by sharing that you’re participating in SummeRun and why it matters to you personally. Then invite others to contribute whatever they’re able. Be sure to thank your donors, and keep your network engaged by sharing updates along the way, giving them multiple chances to cheer you on and get involved.
Showing gratitude to your donors is important. You can thank each person who donates by reaching out personally—send a handwritten note, an email, or make a quick phone call to let them know how much their support means to you.
