Pledging Tips
Tips for Collecting Pledges

1. Set a goal for yourself and encourage others to help you reach it.
2. Make an initial pledge to yourself for an amount that will set the standard of giving.
3. Don't be afraid to ask - the worst anyone can say is "no" - you'll still be respected for your altruism.
4. Let people know why you are raising the money and what it means to you - inspire them!
5. Ask family, friends, co-workers, neighbours, people at your church, gym, clubs and associations - don't just ask them for a pledge but ask them to help you by using their contacts.
6. Ask your employer about giving a pledge on behalf of the company or about matching the total amount that you raise.
7. Everyone is a potential donor - Ask a friend, family members, neighbours, people at your church, gym, clubs and associations and people who provide you with services - i.e. dentists, doctors, hairdressers etc.
8. Create your own "goal chart" to visually show people how close or far you are to reaching your personal goal - it will act as an incentive to get you further.
9. Have FUN! It will be infectious to those around you! Thank you for your support to Pull for a Cure Charity Tournament and to helping raise funds for cancer research and patient care at Princess Margaret Hospital.
