SETTING UP A GREAT ONLINE FUNDRAISING TEAM PAGE!

Signing up, managing your team and monitoring your team’s progress is easy online. At www.marchforbabies.org you’ll find everything you need to help your team succeed.

1. Upload a picture of your child, family or team.

2. Write a small narrative about why the March of Dimes is important to you and your family. If you have a child or someone you love that has been touched by the March of Dimes' mission then tell your story here. Your friends and family will connect with your story and are likely to send more support.

3. Create an easy-to-remember URL for your team page by clicking on “edit page” on your dashboard. Click “edit address” and scroll down to enter your team name under “team vanity URL.” Copy the link and include on your flyers and posters and in e-mails to make it easy for people to sign up or make their donation.

4. If you have a Facebook page or a "Share your Story" page, add the link on your OFT page.

5. Communicate, communicate, communicate from your team dashboard, it’s easy to import and manage e-mail lists and send e-mails to the team. Send invitations to your kickoff, updates on the team’s progress and instructions for the big event.

6. Send out an e-card to remind friends and family as you get closer to the walk.

Other great ways to get people to your OFT page is by adding a badge to your e-mail, Facebook application or to post your OFT link on twitter. Visit our website to download all our March for Babies badges, widget, facebook applications and e-cards. There are lots of ways to get the word out about your Family Team to friends and family.
