Creating a pledge-for-performance challenge
Manage a campaign
Follow the steps below to make your own "-a-thon" fundraiser, where donors can pledge a certain dollar amount for a particular performance goal.
- Navigate to your FanAngel Campaign Admin page.
- Click the Challenges tab.
- Click the +Add button.
- In the middle of the page, you'll see 4 sub-tabs: Subject, Challenge, Event, and Defaults.
- On the Subject tab, you'll see 3 items in the drop-down menu: Team, Player, and Custom. Team or Player are handy if you've already imported a team roster, but Custom can be used regardless.
- Click the Custom tab and enter your player’s name in the Name field.
- Click the Challenge sub-tab.
- The Sport field is optional. Leave that blank and enter the goal you are measuring in your -a-thon (such as pounds for a lift-a-thon) in the Goal field.
- Click the Each/For Each toggle button. This means you are collecting a donation per each goal measure (such as pounds).
- Now click the Event sub-tab. This is how you can describe the event for the challenge. Enter your event’s name (such as "Pirate's Lift-a-Thon").
- For the Event Prefix, you are typing words that make sense as you customize the text in your Preview text box.
- Finally, if your event date did not default automatically, edit the date for your event in the Preview text box.
- Click the Defaults sub-tab and enter the Selected Pledge Amount and the Selected Max Amount.
- Click Save to create your first challenge pledge.
Since this is a Team event, you will want to make the same challenge for each player. To do that quickly, just:
- Click the +Add button
- Click Apply Template. You will see all the Challenges you have already created. Select the challenge you need to add more players to.
- On the Subject sub-tab, simply change Name to the next player's name.
- Click Save.
- Repeat step 3 until you have added all of your players.
