Your Personal Page

Once you’ve registered, create your own personal fundraising page to tell your story.  Be sure to include a photo and, of course, request donations. We provide a standard message but sharing your personal story has a tremendous impact. Be sure to share:

• What does this cause mean to you? 

• Why are you involved?

• Have you or someone close to you been touched by epilepsy or been helped by Epilepsy South Central Ontario? 

• Who are you doing this for?

• What is your personal fundraising goal?

​

Spread the Word!

• Put a donation box on your desk at work.

• Add that you are participating in the Culinary Showdown and
  raising money to support Epilepsy South Central Ontario in your
  email signature (with link to your fundraising page)

• Follow the campaign on your social feeds.  Comment on and
  share our posts, create your own posts and be sure to tag
  The Culinary Showdown. 

• Link your personal page to any website or blog to which
  you contribute.

Create your own Personal Fundraising Initiative!

• Dinner Party/Sporting Event - Host a dinner party or watch a
  sporting event with the gang and ask your guests to donate to
  your campaign instead of bringing wine or a host gift.

• Yard Sale – Declutter your home and host a yard sale to sell
  things you no longer need and donate the profits to your
  campaign.

• Birthdays - Instead of gifts this year, ask for donations toward your campaign

• Give-It-Up Campaign - Choose an item, set a timeline, and give it up. Invite friends, family, and co-workers to join your give-it-up campaign and donate those funds to your campaign. That $5 latte or $25 lunch adds up quickly. 

• Chef’s Table - Ask the owner of a restaurant where you are a frequent patron, to reserve a Chef’s Table and promote that 50% of sales from that table will support Epilepsy South Central Ontario. Create signage for the table with information about the Foundation and how diners are helping those affected by Epilepsy.
