Donate to Your Own Fundraising Page<p>Supporting your own fundraiser is important because it shows your family and friends you are serious about your goal and willing to make it happen.

Invite Others to Help Reach Your Goal<p>It’s important to ASK, ASK, ASK! Make a clear ask, like “I’m trying to reach $100 by Friday!
