Here's An Example: Apply This Example To Any Month That You Pick!

Here's How It Works...

EARN = During YOUR Fundraising Month

LEARN = This Takes Place After YOUR Fundraising Month

Think of each fundraising month as a mini-campaign to encourage your potential fundraising participants to join your challenge, by registering for 1 or both lifesaving programs over a 26-day period! And then once the fundraising campaign closes, the training happens!

Your Fundraiser Month: October

When Are The Promotional Dates? You will start to promote your fundraiser one week before the 26-day period starts. For an October fundraiser, the promotions will begin the last week of September on the Monday (or Tuesday if the Monday is a holiday) This one week introduction period, gives potential fundraising participants a chance to review and learn about the fundraiser, as well as share it with others, in order to generate awareness and enthusiasm around the fundraiser before registration for your unique fundraiser opens! See the 26-day Fundraiser Calendar Below.

What Is The Lead Time To Set Up Your Fundraiser? The recommended lead time to set up your fundraiser is 2 weeks. But you will need to determine the appropriate lead time for your unique circumstances. A few things to consider are:

- what approvals and input do you need from others and how long will this take?

- what promotional materials are you going to produce and how long will this take? See Step 8 For Promotions.

- what capacity/time do you have to work on this fundraiser based on your schedule?

When Will The Lifesaving Programs Run?

1. The CardiacCrash Experience: For an October Fundraiser, your sessions will run in Nov, Dec, Jan or Feb. You will reserve your session dates & times in Step 6. See Suggested Times To Reserve CardiacCrash Sessions Below.

2. Lifesaving School For Parents: This is a 100% virtual go-at-your-on-pace program, with lifetime access to the school, so no scheduling is required! Fundraising participants simply join the school during your fundraiser month, and you'll receive your $ the following month!

Is there a summary of the fundraiser dates for the month that I choose?

- YES! The exact dates are detailed in step 7. For an October Fundraiser, the start date will be Sept 29, 2025. See The Fundraising Challenge Dates You Need To Know Below.

Did you pick your month? Perfect! 

No action required, just remember your month, and know how much lead time you'll require to set up your fundraiser.
