Giving Tuesday Champions

When you become a GivingTuesday champion, you can use your voice and influence to change children’s lives.

  • Volunteer as a champion to raise money for Dayton Children’s and raise awareness of the important work we do on behalf of more than half a million children who depend on our local pediatric hospital every year!
  • You get to choose the hospital department that you will raise funds for. Share your special reason for fundraising in your personal fundraising page. If you don’t select a specific department, your funds will go to the area of greatest need in the hospital. ***Please be sure to use the drop-down menu under “Designation” to choose where your funds go!***

5 tips for fundraising

1.

Post often. Don’t worry about annoying people, the more the post, the more you will raise!

2.

Get creative and set mini-goals. What will you do to celebrate reaching your goal – dress up like an elf and dance? Dye your hair? Match donations?

3.

Make it personal. If you can share why this is close to your heart, it will touch others and influence them to give generously.

4.

Tag people when you post. Post a challenge to your friends asking them to donate and tag another friend – it will snowball!

5.

Don’t forget to say “THANK YOU!” Dayton Children’s will send thank you letters to every donor, but a personal thank you from YOU is even better!

PRO TIP
Personal photos and other images really help grab people’s attention and drive home your message! Maybe it’s a photo of a child who you are dedicating your fundraising to (with parental permission), maybe it’s a photo of yourself as a child, or a hand-drawn picture made by a child you love.
