Brandon,

You may know this already but I can't emphasize the importance of a written thank you note enough. Promptly if not sooner.

If you don't have team stationary, you can use a nice thank you card and have one of the lead mentors sign it on behalf of the team or have the whole team sign it. Make sure you have the team information in it.

We have developed a letterhead and have it available for team members to access for printing out stationary, labels, envelopes. We also have business cards that we (mentors and board members) carry (or try to remember to carry) with us wherever we go. Again, I cannot the stress the importance of this aspect of the team promotion and marketing. It presents the team in a professional manner.

A thoughtfully written thank you card can speak volumes for a team just as a picture is worth a thousand words. The organization and planning of that is as important as making the request in the first place.

Also, keep a list of the donors and their information with the business plan/information file so that members in coming years have ready access to the archives.

Re: $500 to go, one week

One of the students parents is an engineer, not sure if its his company or not, but the student came in with $500 today. We got another $500 from the school (first time we got money from them, ever), and the rest is $100 and $50 donations other students came in with.
