Fundraise for SEA Blue to Help Others and Earn Great Prizes

Front: SEA Blue 2020 Logo

While this shirt looks cool, it is no match for how cool you will feel after raising money for the benefit of those affected by prostate cancer.

It is hard to believe we are only a month away from the SEA Blue 2020 National, Virtual Prostate Cancer Walk and Run! But there is still plenty of time before September 13th to do some fundraising for the event and earn some great prizes!

Check out this great shirt! A variation of this tie dye shirt was a hit at the last few SEA Blue events, and attendees were scrambling to get one. But the ONLY way to get one is to raise $100 towards SEA Blue. Start your fundraising today and you might just be the "virtual talk of the virtual walk" this September 13th!

Participant Action Steps:

Create and personalize your own fundraising page (which you customize through the registration site). Have not registered yet? Visit www.seablueprostatewalk.org.
Reach out to your network of friends, co-workers and relatives with an email explaining the importance of the cause and asking them to support your participation in the event. (Email template provided on your fundraising page).
Share your fundraising page via social media!

Here are some tips to keep in mind when it comes to fundraising:

Feel good about what you are doing! While donations are supporting your efforts, people aren’t giving money to you. The funds you’re generating will help others who rely on the services and resources provided by Us TOO at no charge.
Remember that not every email sent will generate a donation. Set a fundraising goal for the week and send enough emails to reach it. For example, if your goal for the week is $100, and your average donation amount is $10, plan to send 10 emails.
It’s perfectly acceptable to send the same person more than one email request for a donation if they have not previously responded. Being persistent, polite and professional for a good cause is not generally considered “being pushy.”
Send a follow-up email if a prospective donor hasn’t responded to your first email after a week. They could have the best intentions to donate, but it may have slipped off their radar (until they receive the reminder email from you, that is!)

Thank you!

We look forward to seeing you, virtually, on September 13th.

The SEA Blue Online Clothing Store is Now Open!

Make sure you and your team are all decked out in the latest SEA Blue gear from our new online clothing store. These fancy duds have everything you will need to make your SEA Blue participation pop! Walk the streets with your team while strangers come up and ask you what you are up to (giving you a good opportunity to spread awareness). Throw a SEA Blue watch party amongst friends and loved ones in an explosion of matching blue everything, while we entertain and inform you online. Can’t join us on Sept 13? – these high-end fashions are built for the long haul, so you can still participate by helping us spread the word well after the event is over. And a portion of all sales will go to the SEA Blue campaign to help Us TOO offer support, education, advocacy, and awareness at no cost to those affected by prostate cancer.

Do good. Look good. Feel good.

CLICK HERE to visit the store!

The online store will be closing on 8/21 and items will ship by 8/31 so you will have them in time to wear for your family walk, run or LIVE Webcast viewing party on Sunday, September 13!

SEA Blue is a celebration of life, of those who have risen to the challenge to fight prostate cancer, of the lives that have been lost to the disease, and of the people we will help to combat it in the future through Support, Education, Advocacy, and Awareness (the SEA in SEA Blue).
