Accessing and Using Your Fund Champion Center

Your Fund Champion Center provides tools to help you perform tasks to make your family and friends aware of your fund and collect money for our cause.

Note: If you have created more than one fund, you have a Champion Center for each fund. For information about switching between these funds, refer to Using the Champion Dashboard.

When you created your fund, a Web page for the fund was automatically created on our Web site. You can direct your family and friends to this page so they can support your efforts by giving a monetary gift online.
