Tips to Help You Fundraise

Did you know that students who create a personal fundraising page and send texts and emails raise twice as much as those who do not? You have what it takes to be a Heart Hero. Here is how to get started!

🌟 Tell Your Story - Add a photo and share why you’re supporting the American Heart Association on your page. People are more likely to give when they understand your “why”!

📧 Reach Out Personally - Send texts and emails to family and friends asking for support. Our pre-written messages make it easy for you, and for them! And don’t forget to follow-up, often times people need reminders.

🎯 Set a Goal & Track Progress - Set a fundraising goal and celebrate milestones along the way. People love helping you reach your goal — keep them updated!

📱 Use Social Media - Ask an adult to help you share your page on social media. Posting updates on your progress can inspire more people to give!

❤️ Say Thank You - Always thank your donors. Gratitude goes a long way and makes supporters feel special.
