Opening
The opening to your virtual Mini-THON is a great place to share the Four Diamonds story and ask the community to make donations to your event. Hosting your opening on a DonorDrive participant page via a Zoom livestream through YouTube will allow your entire community to see it live while also giving them the opportunity to support your fundraising efforts.
During your opening be sure to ask for donations, encourage your participants to continue sharing their fundraising page links with family and friends and thank people for the donations as they are being made during your opening remarks.
Share a Four Diamonds video or talk about the impact that Four Diamonds is making to conquer childhood cancer. This builds awareness and compels individuals to support your event. If you have a Four Diamonds family within your school district, invite them to share their story. If you don’t, visit Four Diamonds’ YouTube channel to pick from several of our family story videos.
Wrap up the opening by explaining how the event is going to flow for all the participants and let people know what time they should tune in to see the closing total reveal. Share this on social media as well.
