Collect Donations

We have made it easier for you to collect sponsorship in support of people with MS, and to do so in a fast and fun way. Our new and improved online fundraising system allows you to customise your very own web page and to collect donations securely online.

Use your page to:

communicate your personal message
send emails
upload photos into your scrolling gallery
view all of your sponsors and their messages of support
manage all online and offline donations

The online system is a great way to keep track of your fundraising efforts and keep your sponsors up to date on your progress. It also allows you to track other participants' fundraising efforts and keep abreast of who is moving up the fundraising leaderboard.

If you have already registered for this year's Walk and Fun Run, find your page/team page here.

When you are sponsored, you will receive email notification of the donation and your sponsor will receive a receipt via email instantaneously!

How to ensure online fundraising success

Set a fundraising goal - Your sponsors donate because you ask them to and they want to help you achieve your personal goal. Set your goal high as your generous sponsors want to feel part of the experience in helping you reach this. If you went online to see a friend's page, would you feel more compelled to donate a larger amount if their goal was $200 or $2,000?

Personalise your page - Upload your photos and personalise your message to sponsors. You can now add a gallery of scrolling photos to your page. This space can also be used to promote company logos of those businesses that choose to support you.

Sponsor yourself - "Put your money where your mouth is" and make a personal donation when you register or just sponsor yourself online. If you are asking others for donations, lead by example. The larger the first donation the more inclined sponsors will be to follow your lead.

Ask us for a list of sponsors from 2010 - If you fundraised online last year, simply email walkrun@msaustralia.org.au or call 1300 705 340 and we will email you a spreadsheet of your sponsors from 2010.

Send an email to all of your contacts and ask for their support! People want to contribute and will feel valued if you personally ask them to help you achieve your goal.

Be creative! The more ways you promote your cause, the more ways people can support you. Put your web page address on your auto-signature, on posters at work or attach it to your Facebook page.
