How You Can Help

Volunteer | Donate | Table Captains | Sharon Manor Holiday Adoption

Table Captains help our organization by inviting community members to attend our annual “Home of Our Own” fundraising breakfast. The breakfast is scheduled for Thursday, May 1 from 8 to 9 a.m. The event will be at the High Country Conference Center.

Table Captain Job Description:

  1. Fill a table with ten guests at the Ask Event. (This will mean confirming fourteen guests by reminding them personally by phone or e-mail the day before.)
  2. Make sure that at least 20% of guests have attended a Joining Hands presentation by the date of the Ask Event.
  3. Mail "Save-the-Date" cards to each guest as they accept the Ask Event invitation.
  4. Keep a separate list of those unable to attend the Ask Event but who have said they would like to receive more information about the organization.
  5. Submit a final guest list to the organization at least three weeks before the Ask Event.
  6. Arrive at the Ask Event at least thirty minutes early to greet guests and to pick up a Table Captain day-of-event packet.
  7. Pass out pledge cards and envelopes as instructed during the program.
  8. Set an example for guests by enjoying the event and filling out the pledge card during the pitch. Guests will be looking to the Table Captains at that moment to see what they are supposed to do.
  9. Collect completed pledge cards and envelopes from the guests, and turn them in to the event coordinator before leaving the event.
  10. Call guests within two days to thank them for coming and to get their impressions and feedback. (Do not ask the guests for money.)
