Get creative this March to support families affected by MND. Create your fundraiser with Facebook or JustGiving, make your crafts and donate your money raised!
However you decide to makeit! this March, the money you raise will help to make a real difference to the lives of people affected by MND.
To join the challenge with Facebook and create your Facebook fundraiser, join our makeit! Facebook Group.
If you don't have Facebook that's not a problem. You can register for your free t-shirt here. And then set up your JustGiving page.
The challenge is free to take part in. We hope people will take part and raise money to support families affected by MND.
The challenge starts on Wednesday 1 March 2023 and runs until Friday 31 March 2023. We recommend participants join as soon as possible, but you'll be able to join the challenge anytime, even after it starts.
Share videos, pictures, and posts to your Facebook or JustGiving fundraising page and on your personal social media pages. For friends and family who aren't on Facebook, be sure to email and WhatsApp too.
Facebook charges no fees for donations made to non-profit organisations like the MND Association, so 100% of the money you raise will come to us to support the fight against MND.
Unfortunately you need to have a Facebook account to donate to a Facebook page. You can ask people to give you the donation and then donate the funds to yourself to your Facebook page. Alternatively, they can donate to our team JustGiving page by clicking 'Give now'. If you have lots of friends who don't have Facebook accounts you might like to set up your own JustGiving page by clicking 'Start fundraising'.
Sure! If you don't have Facebook or you'd prefer to use another platform or good old fashioned sponsor forms, that's absolutely fine. You can download a sponsor form or set up a JustGiving page.
Yes, if you'd like the money you raise to be recorded in a loved ones tribute or fightback fund that's not a problem. Email fundraising@mndassociation.org with your details, the name of the Fund and a link to your fundraising page and the team will organise that for you.
Like everything, Facebook sometimes has some glitches. If anyone is struggling to donate, ask them to try using a different device (e.g. another phone, laptop, tablet or desktop). This usually works!
We'll aim to send all t-shirts within 10 days of registration. Please be patient with us as we're a small team. If you haven't received yours within 14 days please email fundraising@mndassociation.org
There is no minimum sponsorship target to take part in the challenge. Every penny counts. The more money you can raise, the more support we can provide for people living with MND today. To find out more about how the money you raise makes a difference visit www.mndassociation.org/difference
We'll be sharing lots of tips and advice in the Facebook Group, so join if you haven't already. There are also resources available on our Fundraising Zone https://www.mndassociation.org/get-involved/fundraising/zone/ to help you raise more awareness and sponsorship for your challenge. Our biggest top tip is to keep friends and family updated with your challenge progress by regularly updating your fundraising page.
All of the money donated on your Facebook fundraiser will come straight to the MND Association which means you don't have to worry about transferring any money or handling any cash. Once we receive the funds we turn it into care and support for families affected by MND and fund vital research to better understand MND, develop treatments and one day find a cure.
