Start a Friend-to-Friend Fundraiser
Friend-to-friend fundraising is a form of social fundraising that enables you to create a personal fundraising page on behalf of the Y and share with friends, family, and community members, asking them to join your fundraising team or make a gift to help you reach your fundraising goal.
