Start early and remind people often
Send a note and drop reminders to friends and family between now and September 27!
Extend your reach
Think about everyone you know who might participate or donate! This includes neighbors, clients, and school alumni. Reach out to friends at your community center, faith organization, salon, grocery store, coffee shop and gym!
Engage your colleagues
Use your company’s internal communication channels to share information about Base 2 Space and invite colleagues to join you! This could include your intranet, newsletters, and lunchroom bulletin boards. Share a link to your personal Base 2 Space fundraising page. You can also request or promote an existing company match program. Tip: Not all organizations allow fundraising at work, so it’s a good idea to check first.
Keep in touch
Let your donors know how your training and fundraising are going. This can be a great way to keep your supporters engaged and interested in your progress.
Have fun
Organize a garage sale, create a video for social media, or host a game night or backyard barbeque for donations! It’s fun to integrate your fundraising into the hobbies and activities you like.
Share what Base 2 Space means to you
Unfortunately, cancer affects people everywhere. When you share the person or experience that inspired you to climb, you might find that many others have a personal reason to contribute and support you. People are often moved by the chance to directly fuel scientific discovery that can improve lives!
Be a social (media) butterfly
Harness the power of social media to remind your friends about your participation in Base 2 Space! Share your donation page often via Instagram and other social platforms so it doesn’t get buried in your followers’ social feeds! Make a TikTok about it if you’re feeling extra creative.
Please note: Due to current Facebook API issues, we have disabled the option to connect your fundraising page to Facebook. Any Base 2 Space fundraisers you may encounter on Facebook are not affiliated with the event. Please direct your donors to your RunSignUp fundraising page to submit donations.
Party for a cause
Do you have an anniversary or birthday coming up? In lieu of gifts, ask people to donate money to your Base 2 Space donation page or ask people to climb with you on your team!
Set a specific goal
Set an exact amount that you hope to raise — and let people share in the joy when you exceed it! People get excited about working together toward a common goal. Setting specific goals will inspire people to help you reach and surpass your fundraising targets.
Share your climb everywhere you go!
Create a customized QR code to link to your personal fundraising page and share it everywhere! Hang up flyers, mention your climb in clubs, at work, and at family events! Keep the QR code in your phone, or post it to your social media to give donors quick access to your fundraising page.
