Setup Your Walkathon Donation Page

HOW DO I COLLECT PLEDGES?

  • Online – ​​We have moved the walkathon donation process online through GHSC Toolkit. Now all of your donations to Guadalupe are in ONE PLACE! Don’t forget about doubling your donation to Guadalupe through your employer’s Company Matching Program. We have partnered with Double Your Donation to make the matching process easier as a donor. Please note donations made through your Company Matching Program will take 10-20 business days to update on your student donation site. Collect pledges from near and far easily with your students personal donation page on GHSC Toolkit. This is our preferred method of donation to help streamline our fundraiser.

Setting up your WALKATHON Donation Page is pretty easy. Here is a step by step guide to set up your donation page. Your donation page is specific to your student only and family, friends and neighbors can make a donation without having to create a toolkit login. Toolkit uses Paypal for processing and their sponsors can use a credit card to make donations.

  • Donation Deadline: Final Day to Promote Your Students Personal Donor Page is FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14th, 2022.  Remember…every pledge, large or small, will help us get closer to our goal!

HELPFUL FUNDRAISING STEPS TO FOLLOW:

Step 1 – When you ask someone to sponsor you, tell them who you are, that you are raising money for your school, and how they can help. You might say,

“Hello my name is ___________ and I go to school at Guadalupe Elementary. I am raising money for my school by participating in a walkathon on Wednesday, October 20th at my school. Would you like to sponsor me?”

Step 2 – Explain that the sponsorship is a single donation, and not based on laps or minutes walked and that their donation is tax-deductible. To streamline, you can now offer them access to donate directly to your personal Toolkit site! 

Step 3 – Have sponsors fill in their name and pledge amount on the Pledge Form. 

Step 4 – Most importantly, always, always, always remember to say “Thank you!!”
