Email Your Friends & Family About Tough Titties!

It's a fact: emails account for more donations, and larger ones! Take advantage of Komen OC's neat member features to email all your friends and family about Team Tough Titties and get them to join or donate today. Here's how..



Visit the Komen OC homepage at ockomen.org and click on the Race for the Cure link at the left. It will take you to this year's event page at http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=310226.



Click the Log In button at the top or the Enter My HQ to the side and then enter the username and password you created when you registered for the race.



Once you've entered your Headquarters, click on the Email tab at the top of the page. (This is also the place where you can edit your personal profile, generate reports about who's donated or visited your page and lots of other stuff.) Enter the nicknames and email addresses of your friends, family, co-workers and others who you'd like to support you. Adjust the number of email recipients by the drop down menu below.

OR, simply enter just your email address as the first recipient and then forward the email you receive using your own mail client. It can help you keep better track of your emails, and you don't have to cut and paste all your contacts!



Choose a email template created by Komen (remember to go through and edit the fields specific to our team), or write your own in the Body box below. The email tools are also a great way to get people to join our team, so if you've got a few people who you think might be interested in joining the race, then shoot them a Join My Team email! Preview your message and once you're happy with it, send your email by clicking on the Send Email button below.

Now, just sit back and relax while you watch the donations roll in! And as always, If you have any questions -- just ask!
