CUSTOMIZE YOUR FUNDRAISING PAGE
Fundraiser Tools is the newest version of participant eTools for the management of individual and team fundraising pages. This update covers all campaign products. As a key technical feature, this release of Fundraiser Tools updates the backend of the application to remove the Flash component, so that now it will be available on mobile devices and will enhance usability on virtually all browsers.
How to Personalize your Fundraising Page
FACEBOOK FUNDRAISERS
Connecting your fundraising page to a Facebook Fundraiser is the easiest way to reach your fundraising goal. Participants that connect to Facebook raise on average 5x more than those who don’t!
IMPORTANT: For a Facebook Fundraiser to be credited to your fundraising efforts for LLS’s Bike for Breakthroughs, it MUST be connected through your participant page in Fundraising Tools: fundraise.lls.org
