Since most of us already have an existing facebook account, why not let all your facebook friends know about your participation in Relay and give them an opportunity to pledge you?
You never know who may be looking at your facebook profile (hmmm...scary thought), and you might be surprised to see who may donate to you! Who would have thought the guy that used to call you names in grade three has matured and donated $25 towards your fundraising goal?! Must be his way of saying sorry...
Setting up the "widget" to show up on your facebook profile is easy! And, it makes the ability for people to pledge you very convenient. All you need is an existing Relay account (and a facebook account of course).
Follow these 5 easy steps to set the widget up:
STEP 1
Go to www.cancer.ca/relay and login using your name and password. If you haven't already registered, you must do that first, then proceed.
STEP 2
Go to: My participant centre, located at the top left corner once you have logged in.
STEP 3
Scroll down and click on the Fundraise with Facebook logo.
STEP 4
This will now open up your facebook account. (You might have to log in first.) You will have to click on the ALLOW button to allow the widget to appear on your profile.
STEP 5
This will open up a box for Request for Special Permissions. Click on ALLOW once again, and the widget should appear on your profile!
If you have any problems, you might have to try it another way. Visit this link for more information on how to effectively use the online tools: http://convio.cancer.ca/site/DocServer/using_Relay_online_tools_w_template.pdf?docID=3148
