Some final thoughts related to your fundraising:

– KNOW YOUR LINES:  Be prepared, practice what you will say to people about this. 
– PERSONALIZE IT:  Draft a well written text/email that you can easily personalize, copy and paste, and share individually.
– SAY THANK YOU:  If you thank your donors on social media, this may encourage others to support you too.
– PEOPLE WILL GIVE:  But only if you ask!  You can always work and donate back to yourself if that is easier.
