THANK YOU!
You’ve already taken the first STEP in making a life-changing difference for Stollery kids across Alberta – and beyond. Now it’s time to SPRINT into action and kick your fundraising into HIGH GEAR in support of the world-class care kids rely on today, while also helping bring to life a new, stand-alone Stollery for tomorrow.
Because, when care has No Bounds, there’s no limit to what comes next.
Need some help getting started? No problem! Below you’ll find some helpful tips and tools to kickstart your fundraising!
Fundraising tips
Step One
Ready ... Set ... RAISE
Set up your fundraising profile and make your first donation to yourself. Next, ask your family, friends and co-workers for a donation.
TIP: Inspire people by sharing why the Stollery matters to you and why you're participating in this FUNdraiser
Step Two
Get social
Share your personal or team fundraising page on social media. Tell your friends that you're STEPPING up to make a life-changing difference for Stollery kids.
TIP: Challenge your social network to donate $11 each in honour of the 11,961+ surgeries performed at the Stollery each year, or $30 each in honour of the nearly 30% of Stollery patients who come from outside the Edmonton-area to receive world-class care.
Step Three
Get the cubs involved
The smallest hands can have a major impact - why not make philanthropy a family affair! A virtual talent show is a great family friendly fundraising idea you can do from the comfort of your own home.
TIP: Ask your kids how they'd like to raise money and have them set a goal. Support and celebrate their fundraising journey - and remember we're here to help, too.
Remember, for every $15 your our kid participants raise, they'll earn an entry into our CUB CHALLENGE: an Ultimate Nintendo Switch draw!
Step Four
Just keep asking
Are you worried people will get GRIZZLY if you keep asking for support? Don't fret - people get busy and they appreciate reminders about things that matter to you. In fact, it takes three to seven reminders for the average bear to make a donation. We've got loads of tools and resources to help you reach your fundraising goal, including fundraising tips, email templates and more!
TIP: Get creative and take things online! Video conference BINGO is a great way to boost office morale remotely. Team building in support of Stollery kids - it's a win-win!
Step Five
Cele-BEAR-ate!
You're doing something GRRREAT and putting the FUN in fundraising - and that's worth celebrating. We're proud of you and your community's commitment to children's health.
TIP: Thank your friends and family for their support in your success!
