Please follow the instructions below:
Please make (2) copies of
the "Players Pledge Form" for each of your participating players for their
use in soliciting sponsors for the fundraiser. Please let them know that if they need more
forms to come see you for more copies. Im hopeful that you are receptive to making
copies for your players, which will help to keep the fundraisers overall costs down.
Thanks!
All contributions are considered CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS and TAX
DEDUCTIBLE!
As soon
as your schedule permits, determine an Event Date in your Gym. Introduce the Fundraiser to
your players, facilitate the enthusiasm around it and distribute the Player Pledge Forms
to your players. Give them a week, or so, to solicit sponsors and patrons. Make certain to
create a "sense of competition" as the incentives for the players should
increase your teams profitability, as well as the Fundraiser. Again, there is NO
SET DATE for the Event at your school, so choose your date which best supports your
schedule. If Christmas break is best, then schedule it and communicate with your team -
the Event date
Have your players accept cash or checks made out to your
program, for example your Basketball Booster organization, your Athletic Department
or whatever account you would normally use to conduct fundraising activities. It would be
appreciated that you oversee managing the funds such that only one check would be
submitted to this event.

Encourage players to ask their patrons for email addresses,
if they would have one, and include them in their "Players Pledge Form".
Hoop Champs, Inc. would like to send them an email thanking them as well as
communicating to them the overall success of the fundraiser.
Upon
conducting your Shoot-A-Thon, please chart all of the players number of foul shots
made out of 100 attempted and log the number of shots made on the Team Summary Results
Form. Ask your players to have all of the funds raised to be collected and returned to you
in about a weeks time after you conduct
your Event.
Collect
the funds from each player and log in the fundraising statistics next to each
players name on the Team Summary Results Form. Next to each player who met the goal
of raising a total of $300.00 or more, please fill in their shirt size for their T-Shirt. Fill
in your top fundraiser at bottom of form
and record the players incentive selection.
Upon completion of the Team Summary Results Form, validate the numbers and make a check
made payable to: GAMES
WON LIVES SAVED for 33% of the total
amount raised.
IF YOU COULD ? ? ?
Below you a choice of
how to handle sending in your data. If you, or another coach, someone from your Boosters
organization, or even a technology teacher could electronically submit your teams
summary statistics, it would save a tremendous amount of time, effort and associated costs
for the fundraiser. You could do so through the internet, by logging onto the fundraiser
web site at: http://www.hoopchamps.com/vfund/teamsumm.html,
and fill out the forms for titled "Team Summary Results" and "Patrons Email
Addresses". With your help, this can save significant costs such that more of the
funds raised could go directly to:

If not, no problem - as Hoop Champs, Inc. will load in the data directly from your
forms as soon as we receive them.

CHOICES:
Send the check made payable to
GAMES WON LIVES SAVED in the mail as soon as you can,

to update both the Team Summary Results Form on-line as well as load in the
patrons email addresses from your Players Pledge Form at the same web site
