Fundraising Tips for Race to Stop MS
Fundraise With Facebook: Due to the recent popularity of social networking websites, the National MS Society has teamed up with Facebook to offer all of our racers with a Facebook account a new fundraising tool. When you log on to the participant center of your account, you will see a button that says “Fundraise with Facebook.” Once clicked, you will be taken to your Facebook login screen. By following the steps you will ensure all of your Facebook contacts can donate to Race to Stop MS on your behalf! If you have questions, please contact Heather Campbell at 860.913.2550, ext. 52546, or heather.campbell@nmss.org.

Letter writing or emailing campaign: One of the most powerful ways to solicit donations is through a written letter. Write your friends and family members explaining why you’re participating, and requesting their support.
