Every dollar you raise goes a long way
We've put together some simple and easy tips to make your Sleeping Out for the Salvos a smashing success
PERSONALISE YOUR ONLINE FUNDRAISING PAGE
Don't forget to add that extra touch by writing a little blurb about why you've decided to Sleep Out for the Salvos this year. Personalise your page by adding photos and videos and then send out the link to your friends and family.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK
Remember to ask your dearest and dearest to support you as you sleep rough for a night. Ask in person, via SMS, on social media, by email or any other way you can think of. Remember, if you don't ask you will never know!
GET SUPPORT FROM YOUR WORKPLACE
Make sure you spread the word to your work-mates and let them know you are raising funds for The Salvation Army's Street 2 Home program in Hobart. Include details of when you're sleeping rough in internal newsletters and announcements. You can approach the HR manager to see if your work will match the amount you raise!
THANK EVERYONE!
A "thank you" goes a long way. Always remember to thank people for their generous donation and make it as personal as you can. No matter how small or large the donation, every dollar goes a long way and makes a real difference for the Salvo's vital work to support those at the fringes of our community.
