Jenna's Promise and Pep Talk
Fundraising is hard work.
You know you can do the work. The tricky part is finding the time to get the
work done. After talking to hundreds of people like you, I know how you do
it. You take those tiny little slices of life that most of us don't even
notice, and you make them productive. You have called me on your lunch break
at work, and in the car waiting in the pick up line at your child's
preschool school, from the nursery as your youngest woke up earlier than
expected from her afternoon nap, and one of you even called me from the
sidelines of your kid's soccer game. I still don't know if they won!
You also
stay up very late! I know this for certain because the reports I get on our
website traffic indicate that about 80% of you visit this website between
9pm and 1am. If my house is anything like your house, in the evening, the
kids are asleep, the garbage has been taken out, the dishwasher is running,
your last load of laundry is in the dryer, and life is finally calm and
quiet enough to make headway on your volunteer work.
Well, I
assure you that your late-night online research paid off. You found a great
idea. And, for that effort, I promise that this idea will be fast and
easy to execute. Our Live and Silent Auction Kit has everything you need
to include a hot air balloon ride in your next auction. You can print the
kit from our website You can print the kit from our website (Click Here), or request a kit by calling our office
during business hours at (800) 762-7464, or by completing our online kit
request form (Click

By the
way, I think that you are doing a great thing. I have the privilege of
hearing from hundreds of people like you every year who have dedicated their
free time--or their careers--to schools and churches and non-profit
organizations large and small. Your energy and devotion is unmatched in the
business world. Whether you are raising money for your kid's baseball team,
cancer research, your church or temple, the local shelter, a nature
preserve, a hospital, an art museum or any other cause, you are improving
the lives of the people in your communities. I hope that you feel very
good about that, and I hope that we can make your job just a little bit
easier.
Best Regards,
Jenna
