I've been watching this thread because I think that there is probably a role for social media in fundraising. I'm just not sure what it is yet. It is certainly one way to develop relationships and build credibility, but there are some businesses doing some really creative things with social media. For example, my sister follows a purse company. The owner makes one custom purse per day and then everyone who wants to buy it submits their name. She then draws the name of the "winner" who gets to then be the one to buy the very expensive purse! I'm not sure how that translates into fundraising for FTC teams, but that might be my off-season project!
If I come up with anything, I'll keep you posted. Keep me posted if you come up with anything!
Best wishes. We'll see you at Worlds!
