Did you register for #CNOY21 over the weekend? If so - you're awesome! (If not, don't worry, you're awesome too ) Now that you've signed up, here are some qui...ck steps to get you going.. Make the First Donation: Build momentum by being your first donor. Get some of your own skin in the fundraising game! Personalize your Fundhub Page: Your people don’t want to read our boring generic CNOY page (yawn), they want to see a picture of you, read what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it. Ignite a fundraising spark by letting your donors know why you’re passionate about your charity and your cause. Start Your Fundraising Now: No really, now! You could wait, but our stats show that those who fundraise early raise 2-3 times more than those who start in February. Got questions? Let us know in the comments - we're happy to help!
