  2. Go to Community Resources or Fundraisers.

  3. On the right side of the drop down you will see the “Create” Column. Scroll to the bottom where you will see Fundraiser. Click on Fundraiser.

    3. Title (example – “Birthday Fundraiser for Easton Municipal Band”) 

    4. Why are you raising money?  This is the text your FB Friends will see.
      Example:   “Instead of gifts for my birthday this year, I am asking you to join me in supporting a good cause. I’m raising money for Easton Municipal Band and your contributions will help make an impact. Whether you donate $5.00 or $500, every little bit helps keep music alive in our community. Thank you for your support. “

  8.  Click on Create. 
     

You will be prompted to post the fundraiser to your timeline and to share it with your Friends, specific friends, groups, etc. Periodically you may also be prompted to update your fundraiser (updating will repost the fundraiser to your timeline.) These updates are not necessary, but you may choose to keep those donating updated.


You can also share your fundraiser on your Twitter or Instagram account. 


The funds collected are forwarded to our P.O. box once a month and deposited in the Band account. Thank you!
