Dear Pledge Managers,
In order to ensure all pledges are properly tabulated and receipted, I am requesting your assistance with the following:
1. Each pledge manager is to collect all pledge envelopes and money from their team members.
2. NEW THIS YEAR – ON-LINE PLEDGING – paddlers now have the opportunity to register on line on the Festival’s web site for pledge collection. This will help them with asking family and friends in and out of town to pledge their efforts in supporting our three charities. Amounts collected on line will not have to be added to the paddlers’ envelopes prior to submitting them before the deadline.
3. Charitable receipts for donations will be issued for any pledges $10.00 or greater. Please ensure the pledge forms are filled out legibly to ensure the proper issuance of receipts.
4. ONE LOCATION for dropping off Pledge Envelopes.
