Tips For Getting Pledges
• Set a goal for yourself and encourage others to help you reach that goal.
• Do not be afraid to ask - the worst anyone can say is “no.”
• Let people know why you are raising money and what it means to you - inspire them.
• Ask family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, people at your church, gym or associations/organizations. They may even help to spread the word.
• Talk to your employer about giving a pledge on behalf of the company or about matching the total amount that you raise.
• Ask others to participate in the event. If they can’t, they may be willing to at least give you a pledge towards your efforts.
• Remind your donors that they can also donate online. You will be listed as the bowler to receive the pledge. Visit our Web site at www.fsadekalbcounty.org.
• Whatever you do, be creative and HAVE FUN - it will be infectious to those around you!
