Dear Champions, as you might be aware, the success of your campaign depends on your ability to gather a circle of supporters around you goal and campaign. As a result, we've added some extra horsepower into your MAKEACHAMP profile. Simply, by logging into your MAKEACHAMP profile, you'll be able to access a powerful email marketing system and update and share your campaign to Twitter and Facebook. Below is how you should leverage these tools to increase the chances of reaching your funding goal. 

With the social media revolution and increasing numbers of people sitting on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, athletes and teams are using “crowd-funding” platforms such as MAKEACHAMP for their fundraising. However, it was not always like that, teams and athletes had to rely on traditional fundraising methods to get the funds they need to cover the increasing costs of playing sports.

MAKEACHAMP is a crowdfunding platform created for athletes to connect with their supporters. We believe that athletes also have a lot to give back to their supporters - athletes inspire, motivate, and uplift their community. A successful campaign takes their supporters on a journey filled with sacrifice and tribulations and above all - perseverance. Here is how to create a campaign that inspires your community to reach their own goals.
