Social media has made it easier than ever before to share with friends and family about your participation in the Brunch Run. And we've compiled more tips below!
- Utilize Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to recruit team members and to fundraise: Post a direct link to your personal fundraising page, ask your friends for support, provide updates on your fundraising progress and thank your contributors!
- Matching Gifts and Corporate Support: Ask your company to sponsor each employee who participates for $25! Many companies offer corporate giving programs that match the funds you receive. Click below to see if YOUR employer matches charitable gifts.
- E-mail or Letter Writing Campaign: Spend an afternoon sending letters or emails
- Include a link to your personal and/or team page in the signature line of all your emails
