How do I create my Heroes of Health: DIY Fundraiser?

It's easy! Decide what kind of fundraiser you would like to do. Choose from one of our suggested types: Celebration, Holiday, Music & Entertainment, Health & Fitness, Livestreaming, In Memory, or Create your own! Decide what hospital program you would like to support and then:

1. CREATE A PAGE

Every hero has a story. Unmask yours with photos and details of your fundraising mission.

Not that you need motivation. But, setting a goal can keep you aiming in the right direction!
