“In my view, there is nothing more fabulous than raising money for a good cause and helping others.” - Meredith Corning

I’m writing this on December 3, 2022, the day after I got booted from the Fab Over 40 fundraiser competition. I must admit, I knew nothing about this type of online voting campaign before I got involved. As I became more deeply entrenched, it was virtually impossible to find any type of strategy or real insight about this event online, so I decided to write about my own experience in the hope that someone might find this helpful if they are considering entering Fab Over 40 or any type of online voting fundraiser competition.

Let me first say that I am 100% happy that I entered Fab Over 40, raised funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and hopefully inspired other women over 40 to embrace their age and do something outside of their comfort zone. So many good things to say about this type of campaign, but this blog post is about tips, strategies and how to raise funds, so if some parts sound critical it’s only because I am giving you, dear readers, my critical eye and interpretation on how to go about winning.
