Cancer Walk Donation Question

[intlzncster]

So I signed up for the Cancer Walk. I'm currently canvassing for donations. I need to give them a donor page. Do I simply give them the general boneyard donation page? And have them write my name in the 'my gift is made jointly with' section?

Or do we get our own donation pages. Please let me know ASAP, so I can start collecting on promises.

If you're part of the team, it really shouldn't matter. I think the general donation page is probably best but I don't think it's do or die and will all get to the right spot.

Just wanted to mention that the Boneyard donation page that is linked above by the original poster ( http://www.friends.uconn.edu/the-boneyard , or the longer Convio URL that it redirects to) is unrelated to the NBC Connecticut Jim Calhoun Cancer Challenge Ride and Walk, for purposes of teams, target of donation, etc. The Ride and Walk benefits the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the fund that Coach requested for the Boneyard donation page this past fall is for the Pat and Jim Calhoun Cardiology Center.

The link for the Boneyard's Ride and Walk Team is here.

Just wanted folks to be clear.

So what are you saying? Use the second link?

Fishy has said that general donations will be applied across participants to cover the $200.00 minimum, so that part should be fine if donations go there.

If you're asking people to support The Boneyard's team for this weekend's Cancer Challenge Ride and Walk, yes, use that second link.

Yes, they both go to / through the Foundation, but they support different parts of the UConn Health Center. The Ride and Walk supports cancer, and the old general Boneyard donation page from this past fall supports cardiology.

Ok so how long does it take to get your name up there in the Boneyard group?

 

[Fishy]

Not up to us - with these forms, you're named to the group when they register you manually.

Some got put up today.

I e-mailed my forms this morning and I was on in about an hour or so.

Dang, I emailed it a couple of days ago and nothing. I'll send it in again now and see what happens.

You can also fax in the form. The number is 860-674-1704. I just sent mine in, they'll grab it in the AM.

 

[intlzncster]

OK! After a little show, I'm live!. And we are off and running (walking).

Looks like we only have $1,790 so far. Time to up that a bit hopefully.

Is it considered bad form to post the link on Facebook? Nothing like hitting up people you haven't seen in 20 years for money.

I just hit my HFD donation to the team total. Nobody break any hips.

Post it wherever.

 

[jleves]

Yeah - post it anywhere that you can get people to give you money. I'll have at least $500 to add to the total.
