Here are tools you can use to help you achieve out to your friends and family to reach your fundraising goal.
The big day is almost here! Before you know it, you'll be on your way to the finish line at the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and to receiving a Hero's welcome from us, your most grateful fans.
As October 8th approaches, we want to offer you some more tools to help you reach the finish line in your fundraising before then as well. You can use the copy below when contacting friends, family, and associates via email, or when reaching out on social media.
But this is all starter copy, written to encourage people to visit your fundraising page and make a donation to your cause. You can personalize it any way you want! Dress up your messages with some photos and help October 9th come into view before their eyes.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I'm running the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Oct. 8, 2023 to raise support for @Mercy Home for Boys & Girls—an amazing organization in Chicago that helps children and families in crisis. Since 1887, they've cared for kids who have experienced abuse, neglect, violence, housing instability, and other adversities. With help from people like you and me, they give children a safe place to live, therapy, education, career exploration and more so they can heal, grow, and build brighter futures. Please help me reach my goal so we can make a big difference in the lives of Mercy Home's kids--please donate to my fundraising page. [Insert your Page Link]
