Join Team OFH for our 16th annual Family Ride Run Walk fundraiser: A morning of road and trail bike ride, walking and running routes, followed by a picnic lunch and fellowship. Together, we hope to raise $160K for grants to our Ministry Partners serving neighborhoods experiencing material poverty in the Greater Milwaukee Synod, ELCA!

FUNDRAISE
Use your personal and team fundraising pages to collect donations from friends and family online (you must register for the event first). Or, use our print pledge form to track your offline fundraising.
Contact us at info@outreachforhope.org or 414-671-1212, so we can make sure the donation is linked to your online fundraisers.
If you’re having trouble with online fundraising, start by watching our step-by-step video tutorial.
The following sections focus on fundraising:
If you still have questions after watching the video and reading the FAQ’s below, please contact our office at info@outreachforhope.org or 414-671-1212.
Yes! By default, all donations to your personal fundraising page will also be credited to your team.
A personal fundraising page was automatically created for you as part of event registration. Your unique link/URL is in your registration confirmation email.
Yes! After you’ve registered, we encourage you to check out and personalize your fundraising page and goal. Read more…
Fundraising is encouraged, but not required. You can simply choose not to use your page; or contact our office at info@outreachforhope.org or 414-671-1212 and ask us to delete it.
During online registration, you’ll be asked what fundraising team you’d like our staff to add you to from a dropdown. The dropdown includes teams for all Greater Milwaukee Synod congregations and new start ministries, and a general “Team OFH” that’s open to all. You can also indicate interest in creating a new team, or opt out of joining a team.
No. When asked what team you’d like to join during registration, simply choose “N/A (I choose not to join a fundraising team)” from the dropdown.
Yes! Just contact our office at info@outreachforhope.org or 414-671-1212, and we can make that change on our end.
Use the search bar linked here to find your congregation’s team. You can also find a similar search bar on the online registration/fundraising platform landing page: Just scroll down to the heading, “FIND A FUNDRAISER.”
Each team has one “Team Captain,” or page admin, who can edit their team’s fundraising page. By default, it’s the first person to join a team. If your team wants to assign the role to a different person, please contact our office at info@outreachforhope.org or 414-671-1212.
Yes, but you must be a Team Captain to do so. Read more about how to edit your team page…
