Personal Fundraising Pages are a way for anyone to create awareness and raise money easily. All a personal fundraising page really is, is your own website that allows you to collect donations by accepting credit cards and even Paypal. The greatest part is that you can take advantage of the network effect by sharing it over all the social networking sites with a click of a button. You are now able to increase the size of your local event(s) or just create an awareness campaign. It’s fun to see how you can take advantage of the network effect.

All donation that you solicit and collect through your personal fundraising page are forwarded automatically to DebRA of America, Inc.
