Reach out to your friends, family and co-workers online (save stamps!) and in person. Use the email templates to contact everyone you know—you’ll be surprised at how easy it is and how quickly the donations bring you closer to your goal. Your Participant Center will help you track your donors and send thank you notes via email upon receiving donations.
