Event App: Good Move

Beginning in 2024, our event app, Good Move, is available to help you track your fundraising progress and share your personal or team page links easily from your mobile device. Once registered, you'll receive an email with a passcode. Download the Good Move app and enter your passcode to link it with your Race for Research fundraising page. You can use this app to send messages to your supporters via text, email or social channels.

If you don't receive an email with your passcode, you can also get started from your Participant Center.

UPDATE: LINKING YOUR PARTICIPANT CENTER TO A FACEBOOK FUNDRAISER

As of July 1, 2024 you are no longer able to link your participant center to a Facebook/Instagram fundraiser. Facebook has changed their method of processing funds and this no longer allows us to integrate and show your donations on your personal fundraising page. Please utilize the Race for Research Good Move app to share your link by SMMS text, email or social channels. You may also send a direct link to your participant page or team page and allow your supporters to donate directly on the website.
 
If you wish to set up a Facebook or Instagram you are still able to do so on the social platform. Also starting July 1, 2024 Facebook does charge a processing fee to the charity to accept the donation. Please consider opting in to the request to cover those fees. After making a donation, the donors and funds will not automatically appear in your personal page or team totals.
 
If you wish to see those donors/funds appear in your totals and on your personal page, you can input each gift or the total raised as an offline gift in your participant center. The total will then show in your thermometer on your personal or team page. Here are the steps to enter the gifts:
  1. Login to your Participant Center from the home page of the Race site
  2. Scroll down to the second half of the page and look for the "Me" tab
  3. Locate the "Personal Donations" tab and click the blue "Add" button
  4. It will open a box to enter a new gift
  5. If you wish to enter each donor from your Facebook/IG fundraiser you may enter each separately and enter the first/last name/amount. If you wish to simply enter the total raised from the fundraiser, enter something generic as the first and last name such as "Facebook Fundraiser" or "Social Media" and enter the total amount.
  6. You can set the recognition name to display what you'd prefer to see on your participant or team page.
  7. You can select the check box to have the gift benefit the team instead of you personally. Alternately, the team captain has the option to select the "My Team" tab next to the "Me" tab and record a team donation.
  8. Payment type should be set to "Check" and enter "Social Media Fundraiser" as the Check Number.
  9. Click "Add" to complete the entry.
