On #GivingTuesday (November 28, 2017) YOU can help us raise money to complete the Building of Promise by
creating a personal fundraising page on Facebook.
On Tuesday, Facebook will waive the transaction fees for donations made on Facebook Fundraising Pages and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is donating $2 Million that day to charities by matching every dollar given on one of these pages.
The giving
starts on Tuesday at 8am EST and will be given until the $2 Million is
gone. We think it will go quickly!
And....to encourage people to give a generous donor is matching any donation made between 8 and 8:30am Tuesday, up to $2500.
How can you help?
We need 50 people to set up Facebook fundraising pages prior to Tuesday morning and then promote it like crazy, encouraging people to give between 8 and 8:30am.
It's easy! We've provided all of the instructions here and are ready to help you! Just call or text Lisa at 336-669-7340.
Let's get started!

fundraiser for Caroline’s Promise”
Make sure “Caroline’s Promise” is listed in the box – “Who are you raising money for”
“How much money do
you want to raise?” Let’s go
big! Choose $1000

going through the end of the year?

“What’s the title
of your fundraiser?” Make sure your
name and Caroline’s Promise are listed here
“Why are you
raising money?” Please make this
personal! Tell why this project is
important to you and how you feel about the ministry of Caroline’s Promise
Choose “Next”
“Pick a cover
photo”. Feel free to use a photo that you have or the fundraising page will automatically default to our CP Facebook Cover Photo.
You should receive a “Congratulations”
screen with suggestions on how to share on social media. Be sure to send. Click “Get Started” and choose your friends
to invite to give.
Remember, the first
$2 million donated on facebook beginning at 8am on #GivingTuesday will be
matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. But Facebook will waive the 5% fee for any
money given on that day, whether it is matched or not.
And...our Caroline's Promise donor will match any donation made between 8 and 8:30 am Tuesday, up to $2500.
Invite your friends on Sunday or Monday and encourage them to come back at 8am Tuesday!
And keep sharing your fundraiser through the
end of the year until we reach our goal!
Be sure to share your fundraiser on your facebook
often. Let’s flood Facebook with
opportunities to give to this need!

you will be ready at 8am Tuesday!
