Here are a few easy steps to ask your friends and family to donate $5 for your birthday in lieu of a birthday card!

1) Go to your Facebook account
2) Go to your 'home' page, and look on the left side column. You should see the 'fundraiser' option under "Create" at the bottom. Click on "fundraiser" and Facebook will walk you through.
3) Pick the charity “Erin’s Angels of CNY”
4) Set your fundraising goal and time-frame. We've seen many successful fundraisers at $200 or even $500 or more! Set something that you feel good about and see where it goes! You can always raise the amount if you particularly like to challenge your friends.
5) Invite people on your friends' list and engage with them! This is key. Invite, invite, invite! Share often on your timeline: remember that not everyone will see something when you post just once. While some people may be hesitant to invite people on their friends list, remember you're giving them an opportunity to participate in something bigger than themselves. The opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life. No problem if they are unable or unwilling to participate at this time - you've at least extended an invitation!
6) Thank people as they donate and watch numbers go up! Seriously, these people are donating to Erin’s Angels because of YOU - because they love you, they appreciate you, they think you're the cats meow (and we do, too)!
