What is an Ambassador?

• As an a Ambassador, you can help spread the word about Blazers Give with your family, friends, and peers. Let them know how they can make a difference.
• Lead by example and make a gift yourself.  It is much easier to get others to give when you already have!
• Go to Become an Advocate at the top of the page and create your own (free) GiveCampus account.  You can then use any of the built-in sharing buttons and spread the word!  You can even make a short personal video about why you gave or why they should!  
• While logged in all the sharing buttons will generate a campaign link that is unique to you.  When you use these buttons or the advocacy dashboard, your impact will be tracked and celebrated next to your name on the Advocates tab!
