STEP ONE: MAKE IT PERSONAL

Personalize your fundraising page, where your friends, family, and co-workers go to sponsor you online, by logging in to your Fundraising HQ. There you can:

Share your reasons for walking by editing the text on your page.
Create or change your custom URL that links directly to your fundraising page.
Upload your own images or videos.
Set or change your fundraising goal.

Now that you have a spiffy new personal fundraising page, share the link with everyone you know and ask them to sponsor you for AIDS Walk New York. Don’t be afraid to follow up or send reminders, and remember to thank your donors! You can share the link by:

Copying and pasting your custom URL into your fundraising outreach emails directly.
Connecting your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts to your HQ to post outreach messages to all your social media contacts.

STEP THREE: HOST A FUNDRAISER
