Enhance your online giving efforts!

Read our Top 10 Reasons Why We Love Online Giving!

1. Set up classroom pages.  

• Click on the DONATE tab at the top of the website to find your school. Once you get to your school page, you can set up classroom pages.
• Give your classroom webpage address to your students.

2. Encourage students to set up their own webpage, with the help of their parents.
With a student's own webpage, friends and family, near and far, will help increase the number of donations they can collect.  Share the steps below with students and parents.

Click on the DONATE tab at the top of the website to find your school. Once you get to your school page, you can:

• Join a classroom. Find the classroom teacher’s name from a drop down list to register.  The student will also automatically get their own fundraising page.  They will get their own unique webpage address in a reply email.
• If your school has not set up any classrooms, follow the steps to join as an individual.

3. Use Social Media

If your school is on social media, let those following your accounts know about your fundraising efforts. Encourage parents to support their child’s efforts and teachers to leverage their own social networks to help fundraise. Social can also be used to directly ask for overall support of the school’s fundraising efforts, so do ask for donations on social and be sure to include link to the school’s fundraising page whenever you make a request for donations.

Here are some sample posts:

• Our school has decided to take on blood cancers! We are raising funds to help The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fund life-saving research. You can help our efforts by donating today: [insert link to fundraising page]
• Calling all [parents/teachers] to help in the fight against blood cancers. As you may have heard by now, [insert school’s name] is raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Student Series campaign. Get involved today: [insert link to fundraising page]

4. Send a Fundraising Email

Who do you know? Brainstorm and make a list of your potential donor network! A donor network is a list of friends, family members, neighbors, etc. who you plan to ask to donate to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

5. Use Your School Newsletter

Include the link to your school's main fundraising page in your school newsletters. Your main page url should be emailed to you by your local Student Series staff, or you can find it by clicking DONATE and finding your school from the drop down list.  

6. Involve Parents

Contact your local Student Series staff for a Dear Parent letter to send home to all your students.

7. Promote your pages

Contact your Student Series staff for suggestions.
