Fundraising For Migraine

All donations made to Miles for Migraine are donated directly to the headache fellowship program in the city that our event is being held in. We want to encourage more providers to specialize in headache medicine, so we donate funds to these programs to support the fellows and support migraine and headache research at the local level.

To reward you for your fundraising or donation efforts, we offer you the option to earn the following special Miles for Migraine swag:

Fundraising FAQ

What can I do if I get a cash donation?

What if someone wants to write a check?

No problem! Checks should be made out to Miles for Migraine.

Bring the check with you to either packet pickup the day before the event or bring it to registration the day of the event. The person checking you in will add this to your fundraising page that time.

If the person giving you the check needs a receipt for their donation, we will need their email address from you (or written on the check).

Another option is to take a photo of the check and email katie@milesformigraine.org . You can then mail the check to Katie MacDonald, Miles for Migraine, 16 Cilley Hill Road, Jericho, VT 05465. This will allow us to add the donation to your fundraising page before the event.

How come the money I raised on Facebook isn't showing up on my fundraising page?

When you post your Race Roster fundraising page link (e.g. https://raceroster.com/events/2019/20975/miles-for-migraine-burlington-2019/pledge/participant/57) to your facebook page, facebook prompts to ask if you want to create a facebook fundraiser too or add a donate button to your post. ("Add a donate button to your post to raise money for a nonprofit, and we'll take care of the donation processing with no fees. To raise money for a personal cause instead, create a personal fundraiser."). If you say "yes" to this and people click the button to donate through facebook, that is 100% ok. The thing to know though is that there is no communication between facebook and Race Roster. All the funds still get to us at Miles for Migraine but we need you to share your total raised with us in order for us to manually update your Race Roster fundraising page.

Grab a screen shot of your facebook fundraiser a few days before the event or when your fundraiser ends - which ever comes first. Email that to katie@milesformigraine.org and she will update your fundraising page so you can collect your prizes on event day.

Your screen shot may look like one of these two options:

How do I find the link to my personal fundraising page?

Can I buy one of your swag items?

Can I buy one of your shirts?

Is my registration fee a tax deductible donation?
