The other email is confirming your registration. Towards the end of this email will be a blue link for your personal referral URL. If you click on this link, it will take you to the Race Roster event page for the Mississauga Marathon. This is also the link you can send to friends for donation requests.
Personalize your fundraising page (optional):
Click on the blue personal referral link (in the 2nd email above), to go to the marathon Event Page.
Click on the blue Sign In button at the top right of the page, and enter your email address and the password you created.
After signing in, click on Donate To An Individual on the left side of the page. (Don’t worry, you don’t have to make a donation!)
Type in your name, and then click on the red Donate button beside your name in the list that pops up. This will take you to your fundraising page. You will see a paragraph about our choir there. You can leave this page as is, or you can personalize it by setting a fundraising goal, uploading a photo and/or writing a brief description about why you’re running/walking. Click on the blue Edit Fundraising Page on the right side to fill in this information. Don’t forget to click on the green Save button when you’re done.
Now what??
Now you can start fundraising! Copy the blue link from the Race Roster email and send it to all your friends, and they can donate online. You can also collect cash or cheque donations, (ask me for a pledge sheet), but I will have to enter all the cash donations on the computer by myself this year so please encourage people to go online!

FundScrip Gift Card Fundraising Campaign
FundScrip is a fundraising program that is simple, and painless. By purchasing gift cards for stores where you normally shop, you earn money for your organization. A percentage of each purchase is donated to the campaign (the % amount is listed beside the retailers name on the form). Not only can you order your own gift cards, but you can also make the order forms available to friends and relatives if they wish to participate.
3 Easy steps to participate
1. Pick up an order form at choir practice or click here to download the PDF order form.
2. Fill out your order form making sure that you include your name and a contact phone number and/or email address in case there are questions that arise about your order.
3. Bring your order form with a cheque totalling the amount of your purchases. If you have friends who are also participating, make sure that you bring their forms and cheques in as well. The cheque needs to be made out to “Mississauga Festival Choir” – no short forms.
Your gift cards will be ordered and returned to you at the choir practice that follows the order deadline.
