Every Penny Counts in our Fight!
Not only does MountaineerTHON fund raise as a whole organization, but each participant also works throughout the year to fundraising to reach personal fundraising goals on Donor Drive, which for this year is a minimum of $50, but we encourage to raise as much as you can, For The Kids. Every penny raised through Donor Drive and through other means gets added to our final reveal at the end of the marathon in the fall.
Utilize Family and Friends: Talk with friends, family, coworkers, peers, etc. Those relationships account for a huge amount of fundraising from individuals each year. Reach out to family and friends across the country through social media, email or handwritten letters.
