Thanks for helping Stepping Stone and the San Diego HIV Funding Collaborative by participating in fundraising for The Recovery Ride.
Since social sharing is a great way to promote your cause we have put together some tips for you and a how to guide on sharing your fundraising page.
Some basic tips:
- Make it personal. Explain why you care about this cause. Example “I am supporting the Recovery Ride because I want to make sure Stepping Stone can continue to serve those looking for help with alcohol and drug addiction” or “I am supporting the Recovery Ride to help local agencies serve those with HIV”
- Don’t be afraid to ask again. Many times it takes two or three posts to get traction. Many people see the first post and want to support. The next posts are the reminder they have not done anything yet.
- Comment on the post as often as possible, it means more people will see it. Comment on other team member’s posts to help them out.
- Thank those who donated in the thread of the post. It is a good way to show thanks and helps keep the post at the top of the thread.
