Challenge: How to enable people taking part in the event to explore new donation opportunities
Solution: JustTextGiving
Optimizing #2 – Text Donating
“You can now also get text donations to your page. Log in to your account and go to your page to
create a unique six-digit code, then share it with your friends and family so they can sponsor you via text message. It's a great way to encourage people who haven't got round to sponsoring you, especially
after your event”.
