Donor Drive
DonorDrive is the primary way dancers raise money for DemonTHON. This online service allows for people to make a quick and easy donation For The Kids. By personalizing your DonorDrive page, you show visitors why DemonTHON is important to you and inspire them to donate For The Kids! Below are some easy ways to make your fundraising page more inspiring and your fundraising more effective.
1. Tell your story
When people donate to DemonTHON, they are donating to their friends and family, not the hospital in general. Because of this, it is important to write a message about why DemonTHON is important to you personally. Be sure to post a profile picture and add any personal touches to show that you take this cause seriously.
2. Post DemonTHON videos!
If you are not sure how to explain exactly what DemonTHON is, let one of our videos do it for you! Once you personalize your message, it is easy to add videos by clicking the "embed multimedia image" button and inserting the link. Visit DemonTHON's YouTube Channel and find a video that you feel will be most inspiring to your donors!
3. Be ambitious!
Did you know that you can increase your fundraising goal? It's true! People who visit your page are much more likely to donate if they see you are still below your goal, so if you have already met your dancer minimum, shoot for the stars!
4. Say thank you!
DonorDrive makes it very easy to send Thank You emails to any donors. You can simply send an email straight from your DonorDrive page, send your own separate email, or send a hand written letter if you want to really show your gratitude. Either way, it is very important that you thank everyone who donates to your goal.
5. Don't be discouraged
There is no such thing as too much publicity, so post your DonorDrive page to any social media outlets as often as possible. You never know when your long lost relative will happen to look at your Facebook and decide to give a donation For The Kids! Posting your donor drive on social media is also a great way to give lots of acquaintances the option of donating without making them feel obligated or uncomfortable.
