Shine bright on the Red Carpet!
Ready for your fundraising close-up?
Tell Your Story
Give people a reason to join your cause. Share why you’re participating, who inspires you, or what inclusion means to you.
Set the Bar High
Start with a goal, then raise it when you reach it. Give yourself something to chase and celebrate each milestone along the way.
Work the Social Scene
Share your story, fundraising link, progress, countdowns, and behind-the-scenes moments throughout your journey. Keep your supporters in the loop and make it easy for them to give.
Rally Your Crew
Fundraising is more fun together. Ask friends, family, coworkers, and teammates to help spread the word, share your page, or host a small fundraiser.
Take It Beyond the Screen
Get creative with your fundraising. Bake sales, trivia nights, workplace fundraisers, and other events can turn your network into your biggest fan base.
Thank Your Supporters
Every donation deserves a thank-you. Recognize your supporters along the way and follow up after the event to let them know how their support made a difference.
Every red carpet moment is better with a team!
Why take the Plunge alone when you can bring the whole cast? Create or join a fundraising team when you register, then raise funds, motivate each other and count down to the big splash together.
Need help getting everyone onto the same team after registering?
Reach out and we’ll help get your cast assembled.
