Here’s​ ​a​ ​step-by-step​ ​guide​ ​with​ ​screenshots​ ​to​ ​help​ ​you​ ​create​ ​a​ ​NewBridge​ ​Fundraiser on​ ​your​ ​FaceBook​ ​page.​ ​​Please​ ​set​ ​up​ ​the​ ​fundraiser​ ​on​ ​either​ ​the​ ​morning​ ​of​ ​Dec. 3 ​or the evening​ ​of​ Dec. 2​ to​ ​take​ ​advantage​ ​of​ ​FaceBook’s​ ​waiver​ ​of​ ​fees​ ​for​ ​#GivingTuesday.
