Name your fundraiser
What do you want to name your campaign? Is it in honor of someone special? In memory of a friend or loved one? Are you working towards a cure? Interested in supporting people with ALS with medical equipment, counseling or caregiver relief?
Facebook will provide default language for you to use when creating your Facebook fundraiser, but you can add your own experiences to personalize your campaign and help others understand why this cause is important to YOU. TELL YOUR STORY!

Pick a Cover Photo
By default, Facebook selects the Chapter’s Facebook cover, but you can choose your favorite photo of your loved one or your entire family! Just upload your image and make sure that it is 720 pixels by 312 pixels and a 72 ppi resolution. If you prefer, we have images available for download that you can use—click here.
