Tell your sponsors your specific mission. For example, if you plan to jump 1000 times, you should let them know for how long and how much you hope to raise. We have found one child has endless possibilities! Keep a list of all your sponsors and ask them to donate the day you email them.
Step 6 - Ask Your Sponsors to Donate
Direct sponsors to www.movetomatter.com to submit their pledge on our Sponsor page! They will need to use your email address. Once they have made the donation, you will receive an automatic acknowledgement that one of your sponsors has donated on your behalf!
Step 7 - Track of Your Progress
You should print the worksheets below to help you track your progress. It is important to keep track of your hours and have your team leader or parent sign off on the hours.
Step 8 - You're almost there...
After you have completed your goal, send a final email to your sponsors letting them know about your Move to Matter!™ journey and your results! Feel free to use the template below - "example of final letter to sponsor". When you send the letter to your sponsors, it is also a good time to remind them if they have forgotten to donate. If for any reason you did not achieve your goal it is important to inform your sponsors what you learned.
Step 9- Community Service Certificate
Please email us a copy of your final letter to your sponsors to movetomatter1@gmail.com. Go to the community service page and fill in your hours. A community service certificate can only be sent to you once we receive a copy of your final letter to the sponsors. The certificate will then be sent to you within 24 hours.
