- Remind your prospective donors there is still time to contribute to your cause
- Create a back stop for getting those “last minute” donations in

Hello Everyone,
I did it! On October XX, I completed the XXX. The event was a total success. I had a fabulous time, and you were a part of my event success!
Not only did I cross my second running event finish line, I got to do so in honor of XXX. They and YOU were my biggest motivation for making it to my start and finish lines.

Hi Everyone,
As promised I’m sending my event update.
I finished with a time of 2:19:58. I was pleased with my performance. I completed the 800 meter swim in 21:49, the bike in 1:02:31, and lastly the run in 42:49. I was really pleased with my swim. I kept my pace and felt good coming out of the water. The bike was hilly and windy so I was happy to finish with an average speed of 13 mph. The run was hard. I am still getting into running shape so to throw hills into the mix made it difficult. I walked up the hills and tried to run the flats and down hills. Overall for my second sprint triathlon was a success.
My other finish line was racing for XXXXX. I am happy to say I have raised $1,500 so far towards my goal of $2,000.
Your contribution is making a difference.
If you planned on making a contribution and forgot or are just now ready, there is still time to help me cross my fundraising finish line.
Just click this link {Insert your fundraising page link here} and support the children for whom I was racing. I ask that you consider making a $100 contribution. If you can do more, great. Any amount will support XXXXX in making a difference.
Check out the attached picture of me in action.
Thanks again for your support.
