Tuesday, November 29 is Giving Tuesday! After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, many people follow these days by giving to nonprofits everywhere. 

Kick off your Big Climb fundraising by using these strategies on Tuesday:

Share your reason for supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on social media. Include your personal fundraising page link. Tag friends and family in your post, and ask others to share your post. Here are two sample posts you can copy and paste: 

• "I'm participating in the Big Climb because approximately every 3 minutes, one person in the US is diagnosed with a blood cancer. To support these patients and their families I’m choosing to climb 69 floors of stairs. Join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Big Climb! Donate towards my fundraising efforts here: [INSERT PERSONAL FUNDRAISING PAGE LINK HERE]"
   
• "On March 26th I’m choosing to climb 69 floors of stairs. Why? Because I want to ensure that in the future no family has to deal with a blood cancer diagnosis. Support me in raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by donating on my fundraising page here: [INSERT PERSONAL FUNDRAISING PAGE LINK HERE]"

Send out an email to the contacts in your address book asking for donations. Be sure to make a clear ask for donations. Include your personal fundraising page link for easy access. 

Consider making a self donation and challenging your personal network to match your donation! People are driven to causes that their friends and family believe in. Seeing YOU make a donation shows your dedication to LLS and may urge others to donate on your behalf. 

Already started on your fundraising? Giving Tuesday is a great day to publicly thank your donors - and possibly inspire others who see your thank you message to donate.
