Story
Update: We did it! Together, we raised $33,268 to benefit CHRIS 180's programs for youth experiencing homelessness.
March 27 - April 11, 2021
ELN brings together people who want to make a difference to raise funds and advocate for CHRIS 180's youth homelessness initiatives. The Final Round is ELN's signature fundraising event. This year, we are going virtual around the Masters Tournament, with an online kickoff on March 27th and concluding with a virtual toast on Sunday, April 11 at 3 pm.
This fundraiser is open to anyone who would like to participate, so sign up today! Together, we will give back and provide safe housing, support and more to youth experiencing homelessness. Make a giving page for you as an individual or for a team of up to 4 and spread the word! Top fundraisers will be recognized in a celebratory virtual toast on Sunday, April 11 at 3 pm.
Information about The Final Round virtual event, including rules and signups. is available at thefinalround.org.
How to get going:
1. Click on the Start Fundraising button.
2. Make an account, then create and customize your "The Final Round 2021" fundraising page with your own goal, picture and a story about why ELN and CHRIS 180 are important to you. We have set a target goal of $500 for ELN members, but you can get ambitious and aim for more! Information about how to set up your page is available here.
3. Show your leadership by giving to your own campaign. People you ask are much likelier to give when they see you have already made a donation!
4. Share your fundraising page with your family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and classmates. Ask that join you in supporting youth experiencing homelessness with a donation.
Want to participate in fundraising as a team? After you've made your individual fundraising page, log in and click the Create a Team link. Personalize your page with your story and photo, set a team target and share your team page with friends to join! More information on how to set up a team page and invite team members is available here.
