Fundraising Tips

Calling all team captains...
You’re leading more than just a ride—you’re championing care at St. Joe’s. Here are some tips to rally your team and raise funds for where they’re needed most.

  1. Who do you know?
    Help your team think big. Encourage them to reach out to friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, and everyone in their community network—because care at St. Joe’s touches us all.
  2. Use your social network
    Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter are great tools to amplify your ride. Share your team’s page, fundraising progress, and personal stories. Encourage your team to post updates and ask followers to support urgent needs like renovated care spaces, patient-focused technology, and expanded health programs.
  3. Keep the momentum going
    Remind your team that every dollar raised helps provide exceptional care right here in Toronto’s west end. And don’t forget—there are prizes for top fundraisers and teams!

Challenge yourself, inspire others, and ride alongside St. Joe’s healthcare teams to make a lasting impact.

Make a Big Ask!

Encourage your team to dream big—because our west-end community deserves the very best care, close to home. When your teammates ask for $100, they may just receive it—or $75 or $50. No matter the outcome, aiming high helps support the most urgent needs at St. Joe’s, including creating compassionate spaces, advancing patient-centred technology, and launching programs to meet the health needs of all.

Remember Your Inspiration

Why are you riding? Whether it’s for a loved one, a friend, or the care you’ve received yourself—each of us has a personal connection to St. Joe’s. Ask your teammates to share their reason for riding. A heartfelt message makes it easier for others to connect, give, and support care that truly makes a difference.

Let’s ride together and share why it matters.

Follow Up!

Life is busy—but that doesn’t mean people don’t want to support you. Remind your team to follow up with those who intended to donate but haven’t yet. A gentle phone call or reminder email is often all it takes. As the ride approaches, people are more motivated to act—especially when there’s a clear deadline to support a cause that matters.

When we ride together, we rally our community around the healthcare teams at St. Joe’s—so don’t be shy to follow up!

Send Thank You Notes!

Gratitude goes a long way. Encourage your teammates to thank every donor—whether it’s in an email, a social media shout-out, or an in-person message. Thanking someone is not just polite—it builds lasting support for your cause and helps inspire future gifts to St. Joe’s.

Every thank-you helps fuel the mission: to support care, close to home, where it’s needed most.
