You can raise money online, offline, or both. All gifts are 100 percent tax deductible and donors will receive a tax receipt.
Online donations
Online donations are any donations made through the runner’s TeamRaiser fundraising page. If someone wishes to support your effort online, please direct them to your personal TeamRaiser fundraising page. Online gifts will be reflected on your TeamRaiser fundraising page in real time.
Offline donations
Offline donations are any donations not made through the runner’s TeamRaiser fundraising page. All offline donations (personal checks made out to Brigham and Women’s Hospital) should be collected by the runner and sent to the Development Office at the address below, accompanied by one of the donation cover sheets.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Development Office
