Hey!  So... if you did not receive a text or email prompt for a free throw code here is what to do:

Go to this link:  https://indianapolis.bfg.org

Set up your donor profile.  Or go back to it if you already have set up your donor profile.  Go to edit my account.  Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will find the free throw code.  Copy the free throw code. 

Then go to view the bracket.  Click on the $ next to our agency logo and name.  Then scroll down and fill out the free throw code box.  Hit the plus sign at the top + to donate and then click on each step and when you get to the fourth step click donate even if you do not donate actual dollars you can still donate the free throw code and this will add $2 from LIDS and get us points!  Then share that you did it and we are suppose to get another $1/point.  Also if you click and fill out the survey you will get another free throw code and if you do this all again we will earn another $2 and points!  It works I did it both ways with donating money and without!  GO TEAM!

Please support us in the Bracket.  If you haven’t set up your donor profile, please do that today before 8pm.  Just setting up a donor profile earns us $2 from Lids.  Tweet Lids about it and it will earn us another $1 from Lids!

How to set up a donor profile:
Go to https://indianapolis.bfg.org
It only takes a couple of minutes. 

Go to the far upper right corner click menu, click login, click create an account.  Fill out the short account creation information boxes.  It needs to be a 100% complete profile. 

Then when the tournament starts at 8PM ON THE 24TH (TODAY) you will be able to select us as the charity you want to support and text the “Free Throw Code” to the number BFG gives you and Lids will donate $3 automatically to us!

Here is an image snip it that might explain it even better:

Thanks in advance for supporting us!

Starting this Friday!  February 24, 2017!  8:00 P.M.!

This is an online fundraising competition set up as brackets just like basketball season’s March Madness, only with non-profits being able to access a wide range of online fundraising tools for each agency to use and personalize!
 
In order to stay in the competition and move to the next round we need help from ALL of our supporters!

How can you help Beacon of Hope?  First we need you to go to https://indianapolis.bfg.org and set up your donor profile as soon as possible; now, today if you have a couple minutes.  Then ON THE 24TH text the “Free Throw Code” to the number BFG gives you and Lids will donate $3 automatically to us!  Remember you need to text on Friday, February 24, 2017.
 
Next we really need your financial support too! If all of our supporters can donate at the suggested level of $50 each we can raise enough “Points” (or Dollars $$) and move on to Round 2 of the Tournament!  Regardless of the dollar amount you are able to contribute we appreciate your support at any level.

Make sure you ask your friends and family to join our team and give to Beacon of Hope Crisis Center.  Be sure to share on all of your social media accounts also.  You can help us so much just by sharing and asking others to join in supporting us. 

Thank you in advance for your support and may many blessings come your way!
