Fundraiser Account Setup

Mandy Norris
Howdy FCST Family!
 
Next week, we are kicking off our annual fundraiser with Snap! Raise, the nation’s leading fundraising platform for groups, clubs, and teams. For the past six years, Snap! Raise has helped more than 42,000 groups in the U.S. raise more than $500M in funding! We are excited to get started! In order to launch, I have one vital request of you.
 
I ask that you identify at least 20 people your child will reach out to via Snap! Raise, and gather their email addresses prior to launching our campaign next Monday, February 15th. The list of 20 people should include your child’s biggest fans and needs to be completed in full to ensure our campaign is set up for success. It is our hope and expectation that each of you will have a major impact on our program.
Here are your next steps:
  • Help your child select at least 20 potential supporters
  • Once you have your supporters identified and have gathered their email addresses, follow this link: http://www.snap-raise.com/join_code/915137868
  • SIGN UP using your email address and creating a password
  • Complete your child’s profile
    • Use your child’s name to create the profile. Add a photo of your swimmer, their first/last name, cell number, and group name.
    • Your group is the name of your child’s lead coach. Swim League and Masters swimmers should select Coach Jill.
  • Copy and paste the email addresses of your 20+ potential donors into the box
    • Avoid using emails of teachers, peers of your child, or strangers
  • Select your prize choices
    • IF YOU DO NOT ENTER YOUR PRIZE CHOICES, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE PRIZES, EVEN IF YOU’VE EARNED THEM*
    • You will see generic prize designs, but this is what ours will look like:

**Please be sure you complete your child’s profile and add a photo.  There should be only 1 account per child.
