Below are a few proven tips to help you reach your fundraising goal quickly and effectively:

Tips for Success

1. Reach out to one person at a time.
Individual texts perform far better than group messages or mass posts.

2. Start with engagement before sharing your link.
Begin with something simple like:
“Hey Kristen, do you have a minute?”
Once they reply, then you can share your details and invite them to sponsor you.

3. Keep your messages short.
Two sentences max before your link. Short messages get faster responses.

4. Focus on your closest supporters first.
Family, friends, neighbors, teachers, pastors, and coaches respond the best.

5. Follow up after a couple of days.
Most people don’t ignore you—they just get busy. A polite reminder works.

6. Use your personal link correctly.
To grab it, open your page here: {{participantEditUrl}}
Copy the URL from your browser and paste it into your text messages.

7. Use social media intentionally.
Posting is great for visibility, but DMs drive actual giving.
On Facebook, send PMs. On Instagram, send direct messages.

8. Say thank you immediately.
A quick reply after someone gives builds goodwill and increases the chance they’ll share your link with others.

9. Remember your WHY.
You're helping pack 10,000 meals for families in South Africa and Parker County while raising funds that give every Weatherford musician the instruction and equipment they need to shine.
