SETTING UP YOUR $127 Campaign 

Let’s get started!
Please allow yourself 15 to 30 minutes to get this set up, depending on how at ease you are with setting up an online account.

STEP 1
​Locate your login information
First things first... check your email from January 21 to find your invitation to set up your daughter’s account. The sender shows as ‘sportfunder’. If you did not receive an email, please contact fundraising@glcof.com to get a new sign up email generated.

STEP 2
Some things to have ahead of time to make setting up your page easier…

·        A photo file of your child already selected to for uploading.
(In her lacrosse uniform or gear or holding her lax stick for optimal visual reference to your Frisco Fury donation request, but it’s up to you.)

·        Your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn account urls handy to link to.

·        Contact emails to upload or type into Sportfunder.com.

STEP 3
Adjust your settings

Under your user name at the top right hand of the page is a blue drop down menu. 

 

Click on Settings and a white box pulls up.

Under the My Profile tab fill in the blanks/drop down tabs.

·        NAME: the name you want to use for your campaign… the player’s name or nickname, your family’s last name or fun name of your choosing.

·        You will use the email and password used to set up the page.

·        The profile picture defaults to the Fury logo. You can upload a photo of your daughter instead.

·        The cover picture is defaulted to a group photo. You can upload your own photo here, too, but it must be a 16:9 ratio or else the photo will look distorted.

·        Make sure the ‘allow contributions at all times’ box is clicked.

·        Click SAVE button after updating.

Under Social Media tab…

·        Paste in the direct links to your social media profiles you want to connect to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.  Leave the field blank for any social media channel you don’t want to link to.

·        Hit SAVE.

Account tab and FanPage tab….

·        Do not type in any info

·        Any donations made through your page automatically are directed to the Girls Lacrosse Club of Frisco account.

STEP 4
Fan Page

This is the Dashboard to your Frisco Fury fundraising page.  You can add as much or as little to this as your time and interest allow.

·        FANS section is where you can upload contacts to send an email campaign. You will want to set up these contact first before getting your campaign email typed.

·        UPDATES shows the posts/emails you’ve already sent and is where you can click to ‘add a new update’.

·        Auction Items & Sponsors – please do not set up this info. These are already set on the master Frisco Fury Lacrosse page.

·        Any other areas of the page are up to you to fill out or not. While they make for a really robust profile for your athlete, these fields are not necessary to run your $127 campaign.
