Fundraising Resources in Your 3-Day Participant Center

Your Susan G. Komen 3-Day® Participant Center is chock full of amazing tools and resources to help prepare you for the Komen 3-Day. When it comes to your Participant Center, we recommend logging in sometime when you have a good 30 minutes or more to just explore. That way, you can click around on all the different links and discover what goodies are waiting inside.

There are so many amazing tools in the 3-Day® Participant Center, but today, we are focusing on a few fundraising gems.

You can find the fundraising resources by logging in, then clicking on the “Fundraise” button in the top right hand-side navigation menu.

Fundraising Tools

From there, click on “Fundraising Tools.” This will bring you to a new page.

Here, you will find dozens of links to fundraising materials, including:

Sample Fundraising Letters

When you’re done poking around and have gathered heaps of amazing strategies, get back to the Home Page by clicking Participant Center Home at the top of the screen.

Now, look to the top of the page, and you will see all the events you are registered for. You can click on the events (highlighted in pink) and that will take you to your Fundraising Progress page for that event.

Fundraising Progress

This will open a screen that shows you exactly how much you’ve raised and who has donated to you and when. Did you know that your donors can leave personal messages when they donate (different from the public messages that scroll on your fundraising Honor Roll)? You’ll see them here! And, you can even download a list of your donors, complete with addresses to send those heartfelt thank you notes to.

Progress Page

Your 3-Day fundraising is a big commitment, so we give you big tools to tackle the challenge. Spend some time with your Participant Center, and if you ever have questions that you can’t find the answers to, our 3-Day coaches are just a phone call away at 800-996-3DAY.

 

Our Coaches’ Favorite Photos

May is National Photography Month, and to celebrate, we had our coaches and team share their favorite photos of the 3-Day. From puppy love to rainy days to new friends and even whole families, the memories are all filled with all the fun and happiness of the 3-Day.

This is a beautiful on from 2013 where a walker was greeted by her son home from the military.

This shot with the AMG Team is from a stellar group of walker stalkers in 2013 when I was crewing (and sweeping) with my daughter, Darcy.

This is my all-time favorite picture of my team from last year.  This was shot at the start of Day 3, along the bay, as we were leaving camp.

I love this one of George Nummer! It’s also one that we gave to the producers of CBS Detroit who are doing a feature on him airing next Monday (make sure to tune in! More info on our Facebook page here) ? 85 years young and will participate in his 38th and 39th event this season. Inspirational beyond words!

This is from 2008 when our closing ceremony was still at Villanova University. My son, Mark (16 at the time) walked with us that year. So much fun!

I love this photo from 2015 Seattle. It captures the amazing vibrancy and beauty of our community doing everything they can to end breast cancer.

 

Rainy Saturday.jpg

Stephanie Mayer, Twin Cities Coach

Rainy Saturday! This photo just makes me laugh! This was Saturday of 2016 Twin Cities. Despite the rainy weather the 3-Day staff still managed to go with the flow and have a good time while making sure we took good care of our participants. Eileen and I provided personal shuttle services to our walkers from lunch to the entrance of a nearby school where they could eat and dry off.

Grace and AvaThese are my daughters Grace and Ava. I loved having them experience the 3-Day family for the first time in 2016. My oldest volunteered and my youngest served on the Twin Cities Youth Corp.
