Copy your new URL down someplace where you’ll remember it. This is an easy way to send people
to your Personal Fundraising Page.
Now, let’s continue editing your Personal Fundraising Page.
You can change the title
and all the accompanying
text. Talk about why you
are doing this walk – is
there someone in particular
in your life with Pd?
Don’t forget to click SAVE
when you’re done.
If you want to see your Personal Fundraising Page after making your changes you can either click
on the View Personal Page (up there at the top where it says “Edit Your Personal Fundraising
Page”) or you can type in your custom URL that we created in the last step.
Let’s make your Personal Fundraising Page a bit more personal by adding a photo and/or video.

a file from your computer to upload (smaller is better). Add a caption if you want, then click

Page (up there at the top where it says “Edit Your Personal
Fundraising Page”) or you can type
in your custom URL that you created.
Either way, you’ll have a page that looks similar to this:

Soliciting/Entering Donations
Once you have your fundraising pages set up, it’s time to start soliciting donations. Remember that
email you received when you registered - the one titled “Asking for your support”?
The easiest way to send emails to your friends/family/coworkers to solicit donations
is to forward this email (be sure to delete the few lines at the top that pertain to you). It has all the
important links on how they can donate, a link to your personal fundraising page, etc.
Deleted up to the “Dear Family
and Friends” paragraph

On your Personal Fundraising
Page, have your friends click
here to donate to you!
You can also send emails via your Personal Fundraising Page.
Here we are at your Home screen. To send an email, click on Email at the top, or Send Email over
on the right.
Add the email address
here. You can import
contacts from your
computer too.
Add a personal message
and include your Team
Fundraising’s Page
custom URL!! The
recipient can then use
that URL to get
registered.

That’s it!
Of course, you can always solicit donations just by talking to your friends, family & neighbors.
If you know of people who aren’t on the internet, or don’t feel comfortable making an online
donation you can collect cash or checks.
Please make checks payable to:
The National Parkinson Foundation Central & SE Ohio
If you receive offline donations (that is donations NOT online with a credit card), such as cash or
checks, you can enter them into your account via your Participant Center. Once you enter them,
they will show up on your thermometer immediately.
So, from your Participant Center Home Page, click on Enter New Gift over there on the right side.
Click on Enter New Gift
Fill in the information about the donation
you received and click Add.

The following screen shows up which is your PROGRESS Page (see that Progress tab at the top?).
See how that offline donation you
donations are listed at the bottom of
just entered now appears on your Progress Bar? All of your
the page.
You can also download a personal donation list. This is a .csv file that you can open in Excel which
shows all your donations and the contact info for each donor. Perfect if you want to write thank
you’s!
Once you have entered your checks into your Participant Center, please mail them to:
