FUNDRAISING IDEAS
As a volunteer coordinator, you should be doing the following to ensure a successful Team Hope Walk:
 Make sure you have customized your local Participant Packets and Sponsorship Packets.
 Send customized Sponsorship Packets to past years
sponsors and do follow up calls/emails.
 Call and send follow up emails to past participants
and team captains to remind and encourage them to
sign up for this year’s walk.
 Remind your participants and teams to utilize social
media. Make sure they are posting the link to the
personal fundraising pages on Facebook, Twitter,
and LinkedIn, with short calls to action that include
a short statistic about HD or one of HDSA’s many
programs and services.
 Encourage your participants to take advantage of
DonorDrive to send out emails with links to donate.
