Facebook has tools to make it easy for you to fundraise on their platform! Using Facebook Fundraisers is a great opportunity for you to fundraise towards your MS Walk goal.
While Facebook Fundraisers do not directly link to your MS Walk registration, by taking the steps below we can make sure your fundraising is tracked and gets credited towards your MS Walk fundraising total.

- MOBILE DEVICE ONLY: From the Fundraisers screen, select the RAISE MONEY button, you will be prompted to set-up your fundraiser. If using a desktop, jump to step 3.
