Calling All Heroes: Start a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser with drawchange Today!

What if you could make a real difference in a child’s life with just a few clicks? We believe in the healing power of art. Through our art therapy-based programs, we guide children in underserved communities to express their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills. 

You can be a part of our mission by becoming a peer-to-peer fundraiser! You’ll be far from just “raising money”. You are opening doors to healing, hope, and self-expression for children who need it most. Starting your fundraiser is easy, fun, and incredibly impactful.

What is Peer-to-Peer Fundraising and Why is it Perfect for drawchange?

Peer-to-peer fundraising is a powerful and personal way to support our cause. Instead of just donating yourself, you become a champion for drawchange, reaching out to your network of friends, family, and colleagues to invite them to join you in making an impact.

Think of it as sharing your passion for art and for helping children. You create a personalized fundraising page, share your story, and inspire others to contribute. It's effective because:

• Trust and Connection: People are more likely to donate when asked by someone they know and trust.

• Wider Reach: Your network extends far beyond what we could reach on our own.

• Personalized Storytelling: You can share why drawchange's mission resonates with YOU, making the appeal more compelling.

• Empowerment: You become an active participant in changing lives.

  
  

Every dollar you raise directly supports drawchange's vital programs. You fundraising for us allows our supporters to infuse their own unique energy and artistic spirit into our mission.

This is where your network comes in!

• Social Media: Share your page on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Use compelling images and a clear call to action. Make sure to tag us!

• Email: Send personalized emails to friends, family, and colleagues. Explain why you're fundraising and how their support will directly impact children.

• Word of Mouth: Don't underestimate the power of a face-to-face conversation. Tell people about drawchange and your fundraising efforts.

• Creative Outreach: Let your creativity flow! Host a virtual art show, offer a personalized drawing for every donation over a certain amount, or challenge friends to an "art-off" where friends compete to donate to your campaign.

3. Celebrate Your Impact:

Thank your supporters promptly and genuinely. Share updates on your progress and celebrate milestones. When you reach your goal, shout it from the rooftops!

Please consider spreading the word about our fundraising opportunity with friends, family, or colleagues who might be inspired to empower children through art therapy. A simple share on social media, an email to a friend, or a quick conversation can invite someone to join something bigger than themselves, helping us reach even more children in need.

Remember, by helping us fundraise, you're not just raising money; you're spreading awareness, building community, and most importantly, helping to empower children to imagine and thrive. You're giving them the gift of art and the gift of hope.
