Switch to StayClassy.org - Last year, BCAN used Firstgiving to set up personal fundraising pages. This year, we’ve decided to switch to StayClassy because they offer lower fees to process donations. This means that more of each donation goes to BCAN’s programs!   And don’t worry – the walk guide includes great instructions about how you can set up a page through StayClassy, and we’ll also be holding optional webinars so that you can see exactly what to do!
