In advance of your birthday, Facebook will send you a notification, prompting you to set up a fundraiser in a few quick steps. No need for sponsorship cards, bank details or collecting money in buckets. It's all taken care of online, all you need is a Facebook page. All funds raised come directly to Orbis– there are no donation fees!
Fundraise on Facebook
Is your birthday coming up? A simple way to celebrate your birthday is to set up a Facebook Fundraiser.
Even if your birthday isn't coming up, you can still set up a Facebook fundraiser and raise vital funds for Orbis.
