Create a Facebook Fundraiser
You can now raise funds through Facebook. Simply create a Facebook Fundraiser through your Great Cycle Challenge dashboard.
It's a super easy way to raise funds as Facebook will promote your efforts and publish notifications about your challenge to update your friends and family on your progress.
You WILL raise more funds with this feature. So far, 41% of all donations we've received in Great Cycle Challenge are from the new Facebook Fundraiser feature (wow).
All donations made to your Facebook Fundraiser will display on your Great Cycle Challenge fundraising page and add to your fundraising total.
