Collecting Pledges
- A Funny Letter -- Within a week of your Birdathon outing,
draft a funny letter detailing your event. Call the Birdathon
Office or refer to the Birdathon Workbook for sample letters.
- Timing -- Don't delay -- the longer you wait, the harder
it is to collect!
- Make it Easy to Reply -- Including a stamped reply envelope
with your letter will speed up return of the pledge.
- Thank Everyone -- A few weeks after sending your letter
about the Birdathon outing, send a thank you note to all of your
sponsors -- even those who have not yet paid. They probably will
after receiving a thank you letter!
- Reminders -- Call people to remind them to send in their
pledges. Use this as an opportunity to update sponsors on your
chapter's work. Invite them to your chapter's next event.
