Individual Fundraising
When you register for the Race for the Future, we automatically create a personal fundraising page just for you. Using it is completely optional, but it's a powerful way to support Mercy Health Services and the patients and families we are honored to serve.
Your Fundraising Page
During the registration process you will be prompted to create your own fundraising page. You can also access your page by clicking the link in your confirmation email from RunSignUp.
You can then customize your page! Add a photo, create a description, and even set a fundraising goal.
Share with your community!
Once you're ready to start fundraising, the fun begins! Share your page's link with your friends and family via email, text, and social media.
Track your progress
Everytime someone donates, you will be notified! Log into your RunSignUp account anytime to track your progress and see when you qualify for individual fundraising incentive gifts.
Team Fundraising
Fundraising teams are made up of a group of individual fundraisers. Once you're registered, fundraising is easy, and even more fun with a team. See below for step-by-steps on how to set up, join, create, and/or manage your fundraising team.
A fundraising team is a group of individual fundraisers working together to raise donations toward a shared goal.
Each team member has their own fundraising page (emailed to you after registration) and all donations count toward the team total.
