Link Chapters

Chapters, you've got a GREAT new fundraising tool coming your way this semester.  With the launch of the Reliance - LiNK's campaign to create a virtual network of activists - comes an online fundraising platform with which to raise funds for refugee rescue and support.

I encourage you all to use this new opportunity for individuals to fundraise on behalf of your chapter!  The money earned online can count toward your chapter goal, IF you create a team page for your chapter.  Here's how:

STEP 1: Create an individual fundraising page

Create an individual StayClassy page at http://www.stayclassy.org/link/create.  Let your page represent you by adding a picture of yourself, relevant videos, and text talking about why YOU support LiNK and The Reliance.

STEP 2: Create or join a team

Navigate to your individual page and find the box on the right-hand side that asks you if you want to create or join a team.  Click the box (or follow this link: http://www.stayclassy.org/link/select-team?fcid=123168), then use the drop-down menu to see if a team has already been created for your chapter.  

If a team has already been created for your chapter, join it and start fundraising!  If a team has NOT yet been created, contact your chapter president for permission to start one.  When you create the team page for your chapter, you'll be the Team Captain and responsible for maintaining the team fundraising page.  Make sure that the person in charge is okay with this!  

Team pages are customizable - add photos, video, and text.  Want to know what a good team page looks like?  Check out UCR LiNK: http://www.stayclassy.org/fundraise/link-team?ftid=2327

In order for the funds raised online to be credited toward your chapter goal, all team names should include the words "LiNK Chapter" (ex: Purdue LiNK Chapter, or RBHS LiNK Chapter).

STEP 3: Share your page

Get your chapter members, classmates, friends, and family to join!  Your team page AND individual page can be shared via email, Facebook and Twitter.  Anything that is raised by a member of your LiNK Chapter fundraising team will count toward your chapter goal.  Use this tool to help reach a larger network, get ahead in 2011 Chapter Competition, and rescue more refugees!  

Not only will your team fundraising page help your chapter get ahead in the Race is On to win a trip to South Korea, but also give individual members a shot at winning their own trip to SK.  Find out more: http://linkglobal.org/thereliance
