Tell your story

The most compelling fundraising pages offer personal stories. You may want to include some information on why you have chosen to get involved with the Cindi's Angels Jail-N-Bail, or you might provide a history of how much money you have raised to date. The choice is yours! The best advice is to personalize your page with a photo and give your friends and family compelling reasons to support your efforts. You'll be glad you did. YOU CAN THEN SEND CUSTOM E-MAILS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND INVITE THEM TO SUPPORT YOU IN THE EVENT AND DONATE TO THE CAUSE. WHEN THEY VISIT THE SITE, THEY CAN USE OUR SECURE ONLINE SYSTEM TO PLEDGE YOU WITH THEIR CREDIT CARD. 

Collect offline pledges too

If you would like to gather pledges in person, place gathered money and checks in an envelope and provide it to Cindi at the Jail and Bail event. CHECKS NEED TO BE MADE OUT TO lLS
