FUNDRAISING TIPS
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 the West Park Foundation work?
-
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 the West Park Foundation 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 the West Park Foundation.
*With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, please ensure that all fundraising initiatives adhere to the COVID-19 safety measures within your region.*
