Walk For The Animals

Personalize your fundraising page. Tell everyone why you are walking for APS. Share a story

of how you got involved with APS. Or share photos of your own pet. Click on the settings

button beside “My fundraising page” to customize your message.

You can customize your fundraising goal (thermometer on right), and anything else on your

page, by clicking on the settings button.

Click on “My Fundraising Tools” in green at the top right of your screen. You will be directed

to your fundraising dashboard, and will find more resources and ways to share your

fundraising page with friends.

You can also customize your fundraising page URL from this main page.

Teams: click on “Our Team” at the bottom of your left-hand menu to manage your team and

view team members.

Share the event! You can send emails directly from your Walk profile, and also share on

Facebook and Twitter. Just click on the appropriate tabs and share away!

Click on “Resources” to find downloadable Walk logos, graphics and photos to include in

your emails. You can download them directly from the website and save them to use in

social media posts, as well.

At the bottom of the screen, you will see “Complete Your Profile.” The website tracks your

profile progress. Once you have completed your profile you will be awarded a badge. There

are badges you can earn once you reach certain fundraising milestones. You can share your

badges on social media, too, to brag to your friends and family when you meet certain goals.

If you receive any cash or check donations and want to add them to your fundraising total,

click on “My Donations” and enter them online. They will be considered “Offline Unverified”

until APS receives the cash or check donation, but will still be added to your fundraising

thermometer.
