SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS

Set a goal of how many people you are going to reach out to and make a list of names and contact info. Give yourself a timeline to keep on track. Remember to follow up. It may take more than one reach out to receive a response.
If they say no... That's ok! There are plenty of other ways to get involved.
  • They set up a table talk at their work.
  • They make a donation or ask their business to sponsor an activity or event.
  • They could apply to be an ambassador.
  • They could participate in our Business or Arts With a Heart program.
  • They may know someone else they can refer who would be a great Big.

SAMPLE GOALS
