Your Miles Can Bring Rescue & Freedom from Trafficking


You will bring freedom to trafficked individuals when you use your miles to raise funds. We’ve been leading fundraisers for years, and we’re here to walk you through yours! By following these steps and using the copy-and-paste templates we provide, you'll be well on your way to reaching your fundraising goal.

STEP 1: Create a Fundraiser

Now that you’ve registered for a 30FF event, it’s time to build your fundraising page on Venture Miles.
Create an account or log in to your existing account at venturemiles.org
Click the  ☰  menu button, go to Challenges, and find 30 for Freedom. Click "Join" and fill out the form.
If you want your fundraiser to count toward a team, search for the team and click "Join" to link your fundraiser to it.
For a visual walk-through, check out this video.

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 human trafficking, and ask them to support your fundraiser.

GET MOVING!

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

Remember, people want to support you. You just have to ask.
