Push-Ups for Hope Supports a Child's Education at St Innocent School

Push-Ups for Hope 2021

We are asking our supporters to rally their friends, family, parish, and networks to take part in our Push-Ups for Hope Pascha challenge. By joining our challenge as a fundraiser for Saint Innocent Service Works, you will directly impact the quality of education for the Boys of St Innocent Orphanage, and you'll encourage your parish and family to take an active role in works of mercy.

Starting a fundraiser is easy to do, and it's fun!

We'll even give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. Together, we can grow stronger spiritually and physically in honor of St Climicus, and strengthen educational opportunities for our students at St Innocent School.

Remember, you don't have to do all the push-ups on the same day. Especially if you get a lot of pledges, you'll want to spread them out over the course of your campaign.

Don't forget to challenge three of your friends on Social Media and tag @projectmexicosio on IG and FaceBook and use #pushforhope

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER

Set a Goal

Once you’ve registered for The Push-Ups for Hope Challenge, go to your My Page and set your fundraising goal. Be ambitious and keep trying to reach your target! Letting people know what your goal is could inspire them to help you out.

We recommend $1 per push-up at a minimum of $5.00 increments.

Donate to Yourself

Don’t forget to start things off by donating to yourself to get closer to your goals. People who support themselves are more likely to raise additional donations.

Share on Social Media

Use the Share links on your My Page to share your fundraising goals on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or by email. Talk about why you are doing The Push-Ups for Hope Challenge and why they should support St Innocent Orphanage. Make sure you tag @projectmexicosio on IG and use #pushforhope

Get Creative

Film yourself doing a creative push-up as a part of your training for The Push-Ups for Hope Challenge and share it on social media. It’s a great way to grab your friend’s attention and inspire them to support you. When you write your post, tag 3 of your friends and challenge them to come up with their own creative push-up.

Start a Team

Get your friends, family, co-workers, gym buddies or fellow parishioners virtually and start a team on The Push-Ups for Hope Challenge to work towards fundraising and push-up goals together.

Get Your Parish, Workplace or School Involved

Make sure you let everyone at your school, workplace, sports club or parish, know that you’re doing The Push-Ups for Hope Challenge! Ask a principal/organizer/manager to share a post on the social media page or send an email around to support you. Include a personal message on why you are taking on The Push-Up Challenge.

Ask a Local Business for Support

It could be something as small as your local coffee shop, gym or lunch spot. Reach out to your local business community to help reach your fundraising goal. If they can’t donate, ask them to share your social media post on their page to generate more awareness.

Thank Your Supporters

Make sure you thank your supporters! All it takes is a simple message on your social media posts to encourage more people to donate.
