Share.

Share. It is one of the first virtues we are taught as children. "Share with your brother." "Thank you for

sharing." As adults in a world influenced by social media "share" is heard daily. Well today, we are asking that you combine the kind act of sharing with virtually sharing. It is time to share your fundraising page with your family and friends! 

We have covered who to ask, how to ask, and now the technical piece of using your fundraising page.
