You will, however, need to create an account if you would like to become a peer-to-peer fundraising ambassador.
Q. What is a peer-to-peer fundraising page and what does it mean to become a peer-to-peer ambassador?
Peer-to-peer fundraising, or establishing yourself as a peer-to-peer ambassador, is a feature we introduced in 2021 that enables alumni, friends, fans and supporters to create niche fundraising pages they can email and share on social media to try to raise more money for the programs, teams and scholarships they care about most.
If you'd like to become an ambassador, simply go to the team, program or area you are interested in helping to raise money for, and click the "ADVOCATE" button to create your peer-to-peer fundraising page that you can share via email and on social media.
You will need to create a GiveGab account in order to become a peer-to-peer ambassador. Step-by-step instructions for creating a peer-to-peer fundraising page can be found here.
Q. What if there is not a page already created for the program, team or scholarship that I am looking to peer-to-peer fundraise for/advocate for?
If there is no pre-existing page for the program or scholarship that you wish to peer-to-peer fundraise for (Ex: TKE Scholarship, the Marching Band, The Eagle Eye, etc.), please click on the The Haven Fund tile on the homepage.
From there click "ADVOCATE" to create your shareable peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. You will need to specify in the text box when creating your page the specific program, team or scholarship that you are aiming to raise money for. Step-by-step instructions for creating a peer-to-peer fundraising page can be found here.
