Fundraising perks

You don’t need special skills to be a rockstar fundraiser. With a few simple tips and a cause you’re passionate about, you’ll be amazed at how many people are ready to support you. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask!

Tips to get started with your fundraising:

  • Personalize your fundraising page. Add a photo, share your story, or upload a short selfie-style video explaining why the Gaza 5K—and causes like refugees, Palestine, and/or mental health—matter to you.

  • Team captains: If you started your own team, email us to receive our Team Captain Guide.

  • Kick things off by donating to yourself. A first donation builds momentum and encourages others to give.

  • Start small and simple. Ask three (3) family members, friends, or colleagues to sponsor you for $20 each—that’s an easy $60 right away!

  • Spread the word. Share your fundraising page on social media and use #Gaza5K to amplify your impact.

Fundraising fuels our work and makes everything we do possible. Be sure to check out the perks we offer to help motivate you along the way but remember, the most powerful incentive of all is the cause itself.
