Make This Fundraiser Yours
Your page doesn’t have to be perfect — it just needs to be personal. A meaningful goal, a few words about why this matters to you and a favorite photo can go a long way. Here are a few tips as you build your page:
1. Pick a goal that gets you excited.
Choose an amount that feels right for you and your crew. Every gift matters. Or rally around something tangible — $875 funds one-quarter of a SailQube, $1,750 funds half, and $3,500 funds an entire boat.
2. Tell your story.
This is the part only you can provide. Maybe Junior Sailing means something to your family. Maybe you love being on the water. Maybe you simply want more kids to have the chance to learn to sail. A few genuine sentences about why you chose to help are more powerful than trying to write the perfect message.
3. Pick a picture.
Choose an image that helps make the page yours — your sailor, your family, a favorite day on the water or simply a photo that represents why you’re participating. Personal photos help friends and family immediately connect with your story.
4. Have a video? Add it!
Video is completely optional, but it’s another great way to tell your story. If you have a video you’d like to share, upload it to YouTube or Vimeo and paste the video link into the video field on your page.
5. Build your crew.
Once your page is ready, share it! Text the link to friends, email your family, post it on social media and invite people to join you. Tell them what you’re working toward and celebrate the progress along the way.
Your goal. Your story. Your crew.
Let’s get the next generation of Junior Sailing on the water!
