It's Bowl-A-Thon time again. Please read the message below and download and print copies of a donation letter to give to friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers as well as the pledge form (copies of these can also be picked up at Pages to Prisoners). Then come out and bowl for a good cause on Saturday December 5, 2009.
Who: You, our valued volunteer
What: Bowling to raise money for Pages to Prisoners
Where: Indiana Memorial Union Bowling Alley – The Back Alley
When: Saturday December 5, 2009 at 3pm, but start collecting right away!
Why: Unfortunately, money is necessary to send packages, to print forms, to buy dictionaries and packing supplies, etc.
Please join us in this important fundraising venture to keep our beloved project capable of doing its great work. Use the back of this sheet to record pledges from family, friends, coworkers, classmates, and whoever else you can find. Also, consider giving them a copy of our fundraising letter or mail it out to folks.
Important
points to make when talking to people:
1. All pledges above $10 are tax deductible. If the donor would their donation to be tax deductible, please write down their full name and mailing address on your pledge sheet and mark the tax letter column. Once we have your pledge sheet and money we will send a tax deduction form directly to the donor.
2. There is no minimum pledge. If people cannot donate money but still want to help out, suggest that they donate their time by volunteering, donating books, or packing supplies such as old envelopes.
3. People can donate in two ways: 1) per point. If someone pledges 10 cents a point and your final score is 76 they will owe $7.60; 2) flat rate. Anyone is welcome to give us $10 (or any amount) despite your score.
Please make sure all your pledges
(money and sheet) are mailed to or dropped off at either Boxcar Books
or the Pages to Prisoners space, or turned in to Searle or Michael by
December 14th.
