6 STEPS TO FUNDRAISING SUCCESS
Fundraising is hard work! We’ve put together 6 steps you can take today to reach your fundraising goals. By raising a minimum of $250, you will be entered into our Rally for Rewards draw!
And remember, every dollar raised by you will go towards supporting the areas of greatest needs at NYGH, including new equipment and enhanced care spaces.
Donate to yourself:
Lead by example! Donating to your own page shows your commitment to North York General and will inspire your friends and family to show their support.

Ask your friends and family:
Your friends and family can be your biggest supporters! Don’t be shy in asking them for a donation, especially if you have already donated to yourself. Remember to make the ask personally, share why it’s important to you, and always ask for a specific amount – it’s been proven to yield better results than an open ask.
Use your participant centre:
Your Participant Centre has all the tools you need to help you in your fundraising efforts. We’ve provided pre-written emails for you to send to your network of friends, family, colleagues, classmates and neighbours. Simply login to use the messages “as is” or edit them as you see fit.
Make it personal:
Have you ever visited North York General Hospital? Has a friend or family member ever received care there? Or maybe you were born there. Perhaps you even work there.
From birth to end-of-life, and everything in between, NYGH has provided exceptional care to generations of families across our diverse communities for over 50 years. After so many years, it’s hard to find someone not connected to the hospital.
Make it social:
Everyone uses social media, so you should too! Share your Rally journey on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and even TikTok, and let your network know why you are supporting North York General Hospital and what it means to participate in Rally in the Ravine. Don’t forget to use tag @NorthYorkGeneral and use #RallyInTheRavine to share your progress.
