Raising Money Through Facebook
Raising money for the Starlight Investments Journey to Conquer Cancer is even easier when you create a Facebook Fundraiser. It’s a great way to connect with your community, share your fundraising goals and why you’ve joined The Journey.The more people you can reach, the more people that are likely to donate. So many of us have been affected by cancer, so you never know who is ready to support you.

Step 7
Once your Facebook Fundraiser is complete, make sure you fill out this form to ensure your fundraising efforts from Facebook are transferred* to your personal fundraising page for The Journey.
