Use Social Media to Meet and Exceed Your Fundraising Goal
We've taken away the guess work by creating sample posts for you to use on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Make sure to use the hashtag #OvernightWalk, so you can find and interact with your fellow participants. Below are also different graphics to use while posting! Click the links below to learn more.
- Create your Facebook Fundraiser today through your DonorDrive page.
- Reach out to everyone you're connected to on Facebook. You never know who has been affected by suicide and mental health conditions.
1. When you share your fundraising page, personally reach out to each of your friends that like your status. They may be more inclined to donate after you have a conversation about the cause.
2. Post your own Overnight inspired video clip. Include a caption: "I’m participating in the #OvernightWalk to fight suicide. Please help me reach my goal by donating to this awesome cause [Insert your link]"
3. Make your own Facebook Group! Create a group or an event where your friends can stay up to date on your progress. Include the link to your fundraising page and update the group on each donation that you receive towards your goal. Don’t forget to invite the group to train with you! You can even post pictures of your training walks.
4. Encourage your friends to share the link to your fundraising page on their Facebook Wall. The more they share your page, the more people you inspire to support the cause. When sharing your page, include a status: “I’m $X away from meeting my fundraising goal for the #OvernightWalk to fight suicide. Please share my fundraising page and donate to help me reach my goal.”
5. Create a Facebook Fundraiser through your DonorDrive page. Make sure to read our Facebook FAQ to make sure your page is linked properly.
Have you linked your fundraising page to Twitter yet?
1. “The #OvernightWalk is almost here! Donate today to help me reach my fundraising goal. #StopSuicide #AFSP [Insert your link]”

3. Thank your donors by shouting them out in your tweets.
