Sanofi's Step Challenge aims to raise $5,000 to help provide vital educational support for disadvantaged children living in Australia.
Today, 1 in 6 children and young people are living in poverty across Australia, where even life's basics are hard to come by. These children need financial help for practicial essentails like textbooks, school uniform, the stationery and excursions. They are also much more likely to struggle at school than their classmates so they need extra support with their learning.
Every dollar you raise will help give young Australians in need the extra support they need to stay motived and engaged with their learning throughout their schooling and go on to further study or work.
To get started, just follow these three simple steps...
1. SET YOUR FUNDRAISING GOAL
Here's some ideas to set your fundraising goal:
$624: Support the education of a child in need for an entire school year through The Smith Family's Learning for Life program.
$2500: Feeling ambitious? Get your team to take on the group challenge to support 4 young Australians in need for an entire year.
2. PERSONALISE YOUR PAGE
Make your fundraising page your own. Upload a profile photo and tell your story of why you've chosen to support children in need.
You can also log your steps via the training tracker so you can show your sponsors how much effort you're putting in!
This will help your sponsors make a personal connection to your participation. Why not lead by example and make a self-donation to get started!
3. SPREAD THE WORD
Share your fundraising page with friends, family and work colleagues via email or social media.
We’ve created a range of email templates you can send, or just click the Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin buttons on your page to automatically share your page.
The important thing to remember is: just ask!
