Temperatures in Indianapolis have risen to the 70s and even lower 80s, which means people are getting out of the house and enjoying the beginning of a new season.
Walking, running or jogging is beneficial for your overall health and well being, but what if you could double your efforts and raise money for a nonprofit at the same time? Each time you take a step, walk around the block, or run a 5K, you could be helping children and adults with disabilities and special needs right in your community.
Here’s how it works:
- Create a fundraising page on FirstGiving for Easterseals Crossroads. Upload a picture and share your story of why you support us.
- Set a measurable fundraising goal. Examples: Ask people to donate per mile that you walk, jog or run this summer or set a overall goal of $250 to raise in 4 weeks.
- Share your page with your friends and family via email and social media.
Donations can be made to your page online with a credit card or you can log offline donations you receive that are made by check or cash. FirstGiving will show a record of who donated to your page and the amount so everyone can see the people that support you. However, donations can also be made anonymously.
Interested in running a 5K, half or full marathon for Easterseals Crossroads? Simply create the same FirstGiving fundraising page and contact us to share which race you are participating in. Together we can set a fundraising goal that once achieved will allow you to run your race – for free!
Easterseals Crossroads is proud to partner with The Glo Run and the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon this year. To create a fundraising page specific for those events, please visit FirstGiving.
