• Donate
• Make a one-time donation online
• Make a recurring monthly donation online
• Fundraisers
• A fundraiser = income generating events (such as a 5k or auction)
• One page per fundraiser
• Each page should include the who, what, where, when, why, and how of the fundraiser

When writing content, be concise. After writing, remove as many words as you can. You will be surprised at how many words you can remove without affecting the message. By removing excessive, unnecessary words, you will maximize the odds that your audience will read everything.

Always aim to communicate the who, what, why, where, when, and how. Write well-researched, informative, and valuable content. Ensure it is accurate, up-to-date, and free of spelling and grammatical errors. Aim for a conversational tone that resonates with your audience.

Remember that your website's visitors will include a wide variety of people. Parents, students, teachers, administrators, local businesses, donors, sponsors, and the general public will all visit your website. Each will want to know a different mix of information about your booster club.
