FUNDRAISING TIPS
  • Start with friends and family. The people who know you will understand your ride and fundraising efforts the best. After that, reach out to coworkers.

  • Start with a simple letter. An e-mail message works very well. Compose a letter that speaks from the heart and let's supporters know (1) why you are asking for support (2) what sarcoma is (3) how excited you are for the ride (4) your goal (5) how to donate, and how much to donate (every dollar makes a difference).

  • Suggest an amount. Let people know you have a goal and suggest an amount. Be sure they know that all contributions are appreciated, and they will choose an amount that is comfortable for their own budgets.

  • Start early. Today. Don't delay or it will be a rushed process that you won't be able to enjoy being a part of.

  • Don't be afraid to follow up. Send a reminder e-mail. Let supporters know you have not yet reached your goal and you are counting on them to help you get there.

  • Tell a personal story. Of your connection to the Jackson Hill Foundation, the Columbia River Gorge, your passion for supporting worthy causes, or just how much you love riding your bike.

TALKING ABOUT SARCOMA
Talk about sarcoma! Talking about this important cause is an important step in reaching your fundraising goal. It's okay if you are not very familiar with what sarcoma is, most people are not. And that is why we ride and fundraise.

We know that talking about cancers and causes isn't always easy, so we've put together some easy talking points to help you learn more about sarcoma, and the Jackson Hill Foundation. Read through our information about sarcoma and with your increased understanding of this devastating cancer, you can be a rockstar fundraiser, reach your goal and earn great fundraising prizes.

DONATION COLLECTION FORM
We think our online fundraising tools are a great way to gather support for the Jackson Hill Foundation, but if you would prefer a paper form you can pass around the office, share with family and friends, or take with you to church, book club or other groups, please print our our official form to make collection of contributions easy.

Download the form here. It is a PDF file.
