STEP 2: SHARE YOUR FUNDRAISER

When you tell your community what you’re doing and why, your physical sacrifice on behalf of others will inspire people to donate. Here are some practical tips to get started.

BE YOUR FIRST DONOR

Visit your fundraising page and make the first donation. Whatever amount you choose is great, and it tells your donors you're all-in!

MAKE YOUR FIRST ASK

The first ask is always the hardest, so start by asking someone you’re close to. Tell them you’re running to raise money to fight sex trafficking, and ask them to support you.

GET MOVING

Share a pic or video while you’re training to social media. When people SEE your sacrifice toward a cause you care about, they will feel moved to give.

Hi [FIRST NAME],
I’m compelled to do something challenging that will set people free from sex trafficking.
That’s why I’m joining 30 For Freedom on [race date] in [city, state]. I’m choosing to physically sacrifice by [running/biking/walking][# of miles] and raising [$] so that people trapped in trafficking can receive the freedom, care, and hopeful future they deserve.
As you read this, millions of women and children are being sexually exploited near their homes and across borders. Traffickers often coerce, deceive, or force the most vulnerable into this bondage. Some as young as ten years old will be abused up to ten times per day.
Knowing this absolutely breaks my heart. Together, we can work to end this injustice.
Your sacrificial generosity toward my physical sacrifice can send rescue for these girls, care for survivors, and prevent children from ever being sold.
Every $10 you give provides a day of critical care for one person affected by the bonds of trafficking.
Will you join me in setting these people free? You can learn more about the cause and give at [fundraiser page link].
Thank you for your time and prayerful consideration to support this crucial work.
