New Online Fundraising Tool

Our 11th Annual Golf Challenge is quickly approaching on Monday, August 3. This year, we’re excited to offer online registration that includes a tool to assist you in your fundraising efforts. To participate in the tournament you need to raise at least $150 in pledges. Whoever raises the most will receive their choice of a Sky Caddie or Garmin GPS. The runner up will receive a gift certificate for golf for four at Otter Creek.

So for all you golfers out there who haven’t stated raising your pledges yet, here’s how the online fundraising tool works and how you can raise your pledges easily and quickly, while also saving the Pregnancy Care Center time and costs:

Go to our website at www.affirminglifeonline.org and click on the golf ball. This will take you to the Golf Tournament Information Page and allow you register as a golfer. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with the Subject Line, “Golfer Information: 11th Annual Golf Challenge”. (It is very important to save this email as it provides you access to your “Online Sponsor Manger” page).

In that email you will find a large “Manage My Sponsors” button. Click on it and you will be taken to the Online Sponsor Manager Tool. To ask people to sponsor you, click on the “Invite Your Friends” link and you’ll be able to send out one email to your friends and family whose email addresses you enter into the box. You can even add your own personal message to the email.

When your potential sponsors receive your email, they will find a large “Click Here to Sponsor Me” button at the bottom of the page. They can then give a gift online via credit card or bank account, or be billed.

As your friends make gifts, their name will appear on your “Online Sponsor Manager” page. Click on each person’s name to see how much they pledged to you so you know how much more you have to raise.

Our hope is that this tool will help you to recruit your sponsors easily while also saving the Pregnancy Care Center time and costs in processes the gifts made to the ministry. If you have any problems with or questions about the fundraising tool, please contact Teresa Russell at 812-378-4114 or toll free 866-510-5067.
