Social Media Tips and Tricks
Email, Facebook and tweet your way to your fundraising goal!

This year, we've made it easier than ever to share your goal, your progress and your story through emails and across social media.

 

Email is one of the easiest ways to promote the walk and to ask for donations. Your participant center comes equipped with customizable emails you can use to ask for donations and thank donors.

Additionally, most email programs allow you to create a signature line that will be included in all of your emails. Consider setting one up on your email with a link to your personal fundraising page. For example, you could add a signature that says, "I'm walking to support Cincinnati Children's at Cincinnati Walks for Kids on Saturday May 15, 2021. Please support me at (insert link to your personal fundraising page)."

 

It's easy to share your story, your fundraising goal and to ask donations on Facebook. View tips below on how to get the word out.

Use Twitter to let people know about your personal fundraising page and to post status updates about the walk. Incorporate the hashtag #cincywalks to connect your updates with other posts about the walk.
