CREATING YOUR DASHBOARD 

1. Log into your KC Blazers account and access “My Account”

2. Navigate to the “Event Fundraising” section of the website under My Account 

This will take you to your personal Swim-A-Thon dashboard and landing page. This is where you can set up your profile page and send emails. This page also allows you to track supporters who are donating. 

3. Click on the RED set-up tab 

This is where the swimmer profile is set up. This will be the landing page your donors come to when they receive your email. Put in a goal amount, shirt size and how you want the swimmer’s name displayed.

4. Set up your swimmer’s profile

You have two options for the swimmer profile; you can either select “I stare at a black line and love it” or create your own profile. 

To create your own profile, Click inside the “Message” box and start typing what you want to appear for a profile. When finished, click the Green Save Button at the bottom of the screen and you now have a profile!! Click the “Upload Profile Photo” button to upload a swim photo. You can upload additional pics also below the profile. If you use social media, you can link this page to Facebook and Twitter here also. 

Once you’re done entering information, don’t forget to SAVE!
