Hi {{firstName}},

We are so excited for you to join us for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon.

Please read each of the below items carefully and reach out if you have any questions!

Reminders for you:

1. Your entry is secure! Our team will reach out when you’ve reached 50% of your fundraising goal.

2. Start reaching out to donors! You can see your progress and edit your page at {{participantUrl}}. Keep in mind that people are 80% more likely to donate to you if you have a photo and share your story about why you are FundRacing for Back on My Feet! We also encourage you to visit our Impact Page to illustrate to your supporters how their support will make a difference. 

3. Familiarize yourself with our FundRacer toolkit which has helpful tips and tricks on how to reach your fundraising minimum. Take special note of our Incentive Program (page 6 in the toolkit) which allows you to choose one item in addition to your t-shirt based on where you finish in your fundraising!

4. Your FundRacer tech t-shirt will be mailed to the address you used when registering when you reach your first $100 raised. Aim to meet your fundraising minimum by September 1, 2024 to have your incentive prize by race day!*

5. Back on My Feet will host a pre-marathon brunch in honor of our FundRacers and community on Saturday, November 2nd. As you make your travel plans, please plan to include this meaningful event! RSVP and more information here.

As a reminder, your fundraising minimum of $3,000 is due the Monday before race day. Leading up to the race, we will be in touch with fundraising tips and tricks, and we encourage you all to join our National FundRacing Facebook Group – from here, you’ll connect and share ideas with other BoMF FundRacers from around the country!

 If your fundraising goal is not met by Monday, October 28, the balance will be charged to your credit card on file.

An important note about donations not through your fundraising site:

Please use the social connectivity tools that can be found in the “Invite Your Friends to Join You” tab in OneCause.

Using the integrated tools will help you track your asks! Plus, if you post your personal fundraising link to a new post in Facebook or Instagram, you will be prompted to add a “donate” button to your post. When you add this donate button, any donations made through Facebook or Instagram will appear on your fundraising page. This is a great way to cross utilize your efforts!

Please make checks payable to "Back on My Feet" and mail to:

Back on My Feet

Attn: FundRacing

P.O. Box 71536 Philadelphia, PA 19176-1536.

Please make sure your name and race is included in the memo line or in an accompanying note.
