Setting up and personalizing your DonorDrive is one of the most important steps in supporting THON™. DonorDrive is the main platform where donations are accepted throughout the THON year. No matter the kind of involvement you chose to participate in, DonorDrive will be an essential aspect of fundraising for your organization, committee, or personal THON journey. THON 2026 has just begun, and there is no better time than now to get your DonorDrive up and running. Here is everything you need to know to get started! 

Q: What is DonorDrive? 

A: DonorDrive is THON’s official fundraising platform. It allows volunteers to collect donations, track their progress, and share personal stories. Through DonorDrive, volunteers can create customized pages, post updates, and engage their network to support the fight against childhood cancer. It is a powerful tool that helps turn passion into tangible impact one donation at a time. 

Q: How do I register a DonorDrive Account? 

A: Creating your DonorDrive page is quick and easy, and you only need to do it once each year. It only takes a few minutes to get started and makes a big difference in your fundraising efforts. Follow these simple steps: 

  1.  Go to donate.thon.org. 
  1.  Click “Register Now” in the right corner 
  1.  Search for your organization and click “Register Now” 
  1. Returning users can log in using your DonorDrive email and password from previous years. New users select “Sign Up” and follow the prompts to create your account. 
  1. Fill in your personal information 
  1. Complete Registration 
  1. Personalize your fundraising page 
  1. Download the DonorDrive app and log in 

You can now share your fundraising page, track donations, and participate in challenges all year long! 

Q: How do I personalize my DonorDrive page? 

A: Personalizing your DonorDrive page is one of the best ways to make your fundraising efforts more effective. Once you are registered, head to the Fundraising Dashboard to customize your page. There, you can: 

  • Upload a profile photo to put a face to your fundraising 
  • Set a fundraising goal that motivates you and shows supporters what you’re aiming for 
  • Write a personal story explaining why you’re passionate about THON 
  • Add photos or videos from past events or your THON journey to bring your story to life 

Q: Why should I personalize my page? 

A: A personalized DonorDrive page allows donors to understand why you support THON and why they should too. Personalizing your page not only makes it more visually appealing, but it also helps connect donors to your story and your purpose. Sharing why THON matters to you makes it more likely that friends, family, and others will want to donate and support your page. A well-personalized page helps inspire others to give and reminds them that they’re contributing to something meaningful and personal. It transforms their physical donation into a part of THON’s story. 

Q: How do I share my page? 

A: There is an option on your page’s home screen for you to copy your URL link. Whoever clicks on the link can donate and support your page. Your personal URL can be posted on: 

  • Social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) 
  • Text messages to friends and family 
  • Email signatures 

Don’t forget to include a message with your link to explain what THON is and why you’re fundraising! The more you share your page, the greater your reach and the bigger impact you can make.  

Q: Can I update my page after registering? 

A: Absolutely! You can log into your DonorDrive at any time to: 

  • Change your fundraising goal 
  • Add updates and photos 
  • Edit your THON story 
  • Track your progress 

If you set up your DonorDrive page now, you can always connect it to your organization or committee you may join during the year by editing your profile settings.  

Whether you’re fundraising individually or as part of an organization or committee, your page serves as your personal platform to share your story, inspire others, and raise essential funds. By thoughtfully customizing your page and regularly updating it with your progress and experiences, you create a meaningful connection with donors that goes beyond just asking for support. The effort you put into your page can help amplify your impact throughout the entire THON year.
