Create Your Own Webpage
Enter online and you will receive your very own web page to fundraise online. Our new and improved online fundraising system allows you to customise your very own web page and to collect donations
securely online.
Use your page to:
- Communicate your personal message.
- Send emails.
- Upload photos (or logos) into your photo gallery.
- View all of your sponsors and their messages of support.
- Manage all online and offline donations.
The online system is a great way to track all your fundraising and keep your sponsors up to date on your progress. It also allows you to keep track of other riders fundraising as you see who is moving up the fundraising leaderboard. If you have already entered, find your page/team page here.
How to ensure online fundraising success
Set a fundraising goal - Your sponsors donate because you ask them to and they want to help you achieve your personal goal. Set your goal high as they want to feel part of the experience in helping you reach a personal achievement. If you went online to a friend's page, would you donate more if their goal was $100 or $10,000?
Personalise your page - Upload your photos, you can now add a gallery of photos or company logos with titles to your page! Title your page and write a personal message of why you are asking for support. Show your sponsors why you are inspired to support people living with MS, this will inspire them too!
Sponsor yourself - "put your money where your mouth is" and make a personal donation upon entering or sponsor yourself online. If you are asking for donations, lead by example. The larger the first donation the more inclined sponsors will be to follow your lead.
Ask us for a list of sponsors from 2009 - If you fundraised online last year, simply call 1800 287 367 or email msc@msaustralia.org.au and we will email you a spreadsheet of your sponsors from 2009.
Send an email to all your contacts and ask for their support! People want to contribute and feel important if you personally ask them to help you achieve your goal. Email your friends and co-workers, clients and suppliers, people that know you or deal with you on a daily basis will want to help you.
Don't forget to thank them!
Be creative! The more ways you promote your cause, the more ways people can support you. Put your web page address and Facebook link on your auto-signature and pin up the official Melbourne Summer Cycle fundraising posters around your work place.
