Fundraising tips
from Team Levine

2013 Volunteer Leadership Conference
Washington D.C. September 26-27
Tell your
story
1
Our beautiful twin daughters, Chloe Hope and Isabelle Frances, were
born premature on May 31, 2006, at just 26 weeks, weighing just over
1 pound each.
Josh and I held our breath in the delivery room as they performed an emergency c-
section. We were thrilled when the NICU doctors in the delivery room told us both
babies were breathing and doing well. Chloe and Isabelle remained stable and seemed
to be thriving in the NICU.
Early in the morning of June 1, Chloe and Isabelle had pulmonary hemorrhages at the
same exact time--a very twin thing to do--and went into critical condition. Doctors woke
us to say our goodbyes to our babies.
Chloe, who was slightly smaller than Isabelle, and a bit weaker, could not take the
stress on her body. She died in our arms on June 2, two days after her birth.
Isabelle fought for five weeks in the NICU. She was on a respirator, had many blood
transfusions, infections, collapsed lungs, and swelling in her brain. Isabelle was so
strong and tough but her body was pushed to its limit. She too died in our arms, on July
3, 2006.
In 2007, Josh and I were blessed with another little girl, Olivia Faith and in 2009 with a
baby boy, Julian Ilias. Olivia and Julian are our little miracles and we tell them about
their sisters all the time. Chloe & Isabelle will forever be their guardian angels.
We are dedicated to supporting March for Babies. Our amazing friends and family were
there for us during our time in the NICU and we hope you can continue to show your
support. This is a very special cause. It is so important to us, and to countless other
expectant parents, that all babies be born healthy.
While we can never bring our babies back, we think the best way to honor their memory
and give meaning to their lives is to dedicate ourselves to raising money for an
organization that fights for babies and preventing premature births.

How to do it
Upload all of your videos to your new
family team youtube account.
Reach out to the March of Dimes and
ask for their support by featuring your
video on their Facebook page (they
have over 400,000 fans).
Create
a Donor
Database
3
and your friends’
facebook friends
and fill it up with your contacts.
Create a spreadsheet
This past year we started using Donor Tools to
track fundraising and donor management.
Email
Blasts

Send different emails to your
different segments.

Grandma’s List
In the past we’ve sent one email blast to everyone on our list. Recently, we’ve
customized the messaging based on the segment and it has had a huge impact
on our donations.
Example:
Paulina uses her maiden name at
work. By segmenting this list we
were able to reach out to them using
her work email. This resulted in less
confusion and more donations.
These people wanted to help, we
just weren't making it easy for them
to donate.
Email 1:
Big blast
Subject: Support Paulina & Josh
Levine in the fight against
premature birth
Email 2:
Reminder 9 days left
Subject: Renew your support &
help Team Levine save babies -
9 days left to donate
Email 3:
Reminder, 4 days left
Subject: Just 4 days left! Support
Team Levine in our fight to help
all babies be born healthy.
Frequency & follow-ups are key.

Be Social
5
Create a team “Page”
Don’t just use your personal pages. A “Page” allows anyone (not just your friends)
to subscribe to your team and have dialogue with you and others.
Add content - old and new.
Upload photos/videos and create albums (i.e., 2011 March for Babies Walk).
Tag everyone!
March of DImes, March for Babies – Fundraising Tips from Team Levine
Keep your supporters updated with
your team’s progress and activity.
And keep them informed on March of
Dimes news, facts and progress updates.
Always include a call-to-action to
make a donation at your team site.
Use admin and tracking tools.
Invite friends to like your page. Get useful insights about which posts and photos
are reaching the most people and the having biggest impact.
Show support and link to fellow family
teams all over the country.
Fundraising
& Events
6
Ask people to donate venues...
Gaga Center Kid’s Event
$1500 raised
Annual Fundraiser and Auction
$3500 raised each year
...or services and gifts.
And then publicly thank them and
include links to their pages.
Ask local chapter for signage,
stands and banners.
Other
Tips
7
Write handwritten thank you cards.
We write all handwritten thank you notes to anyone who makes a donation or
contributes in any way. While it takes a bit more effort, there is no better way to
show your appreciation.
Use an email signature.
Include a March for Babies team signature on all of your emails for everyone to
see. Include a link to your Facebook page, personal site, your team page and any
other relevant information. This is an easy and effective way to spread awareness.
T-shirts generate excitement and offer
sponsorship opportunities.
We hope you found this
helpful. Good luck!
Please reach out to us if you need support or
have any questions. We are more than happy
to help and are always looking to meet other
families.

March of DImes, March for Babies – Fundraising Tips from Team Levine

  • 1. Fundraising tips from Team Levine Josh and Paulina Levine 2013 Volunteer Leadership Conference Washington D.C. September 26-27
  • 3. Our beautiful twin daughters, Chloe Hope and Isabelle Frances, were born premature on May 31, 2006, at just 26 weeks, weighing just over 1 pound each. Josh and I held our breath in the delivery room as they performed an emergency c- section. We were thrilled when the NICU doctors in the delivery room told us both babies were breathing and doing well. Chloe and Isabelle remained stable and seemed to be thriving in the NICU. Early in the morning of June 1, Chloe and Isabelle had pulmonary hemorrhages at the same exact time--a very twin thing to do--and went into critical condition. Doctors woke us to say our goodbyes to our babies. Chloe, who was slightly smaller than Isabelle, and a bit weaker, could not take the stress on her body. She died in our arms on June 2, two days after her birth. Isabelle fought for five weeks in the NICU. She was on a respirator, had many blood transfusions, infections, collapsed lungs, and swelling in her brain. Isabelle was so strong and tough but her body was pushed to its limit. She too died in our arms, on July 3, 2006. In 2007, Josh and I were blessed with another little girl, Olivia Faith and in 2009 with a baby boy, Julian Ilias. Olivia and Julian are our little miracles and we tell them about their sisters all the time. Chloe & Isabelle will forever be their guardian angels. We are dedicated to supporting March for Babies. Our amazing friends and family were there for us during our time in the NICU and we hope you can continue to show your support. This is a very special cause. It is so important to us, and to countless other expectant parents, that all babies be born healthy. While we can never bring our babies back, we think the best way to honor their memory and give meaning to their lives is to dedicate ourselves to raising money for an organization that fights for babies and preventing premature births.

Recently, we’ve customized the messaging based on the segment and it has had a huge impact on our donations. Example: Paulina uses her maiden name at work. By segmenting this list we were able to reach out to them using her work email. This resulted in less confusion and more donations. These people wanted to help, we just weren't making it easy for them to donate.
