Use Social Media!

Post your personal Tour de Summer Camps fundraising page to ALL your social media channels and link it to your personal page! Advance your fundraising strategies and connect with your social media followers.

Do the following:

• Tell your followers WHY you are participating in JFEDLA's Tour de Summer Camps. People are more likely to help when they see HOW they’re making an impact.
• Tag the people and organizations you want to reach! A simple tag notifies them, increasing visibility.
• Update your followers! Donors want to see your progress. Keep them in the loop and thank them for their support.
• Post pictures to show your effort—when people see the work you're putting in, they're more likely to donate.
