Local papers are very supportive of local events, and local people getting involved – and we’ll help you reach them.
Think about all the local papers and publications, especially free ones and find the contact details. Call the newsdesk or send them a press release or letter about your event. Most newspapers and magazines would love to hear your story, and your local fundraiser may already have some good contacts.
If you need help writing your press releases or letters, don’t worry. We have everything you need available to download:
Sample Press release
Sample Letter to Editor
Please remember that these are just samples.
You can also download our complete Rise to the Fundraising Challenge brochure (pdf 2MB).
As always if you need help with your media activity, contact your local fundraiser.
