Fundraising on Facebook will make reaching your goal easier than ever. You can now create a Facebook Fundraiser through your Great Strides, CF Cycle for Life, or Team CF Participant Center, and have funds raised through Facebook directly credited to your personal fundraising page. Check out Facebook Fundraising 101 and Facebook Fundraising 201 and Facebook FAQs
  • Log in to your Participant Center

Your Facebook Fundraiser connects back to your personal fundraising webpage so that you can always keep track of progress toward your goal.
