7 Fundraising tips

Use your social media channels and WhatsApp groups regularly (but don’t overdo it) to let people know what you are doing and why.

Here are 7 tips of when to let people know about your Santa Dash.

1. Launch – let people know you have signed up. They can join you, or sponsor you.
2. Post photos or videos of you training
3. Post a video of you dressed as Santa asking for their help (make them smile)
4. Post a video or go live (if you can get a signal) at the start line
5. Post a video and photos at the end of the race
6. Post a thank you the day after and ask for last minute donations/sponsorships
7. Post a final thank you message after a few days with your final fundraising total

All the very best
