How to Ask For Pledges
Sample Script:
Hi {Name},
I'm participating in an event called Trash-a-thon and I would love your help! Trash-a-thon is a direct-action, citizen science volunteer opportunity. Trash-a-thon raises donations for the number of pieces of trash picked up within 24 hours. All funds raised support the Northcoast Environmental Center's coastal programs.
Our cleanup team, {Team Name}, plans to pick up {insert goal} pieces of trash during Earth Week (April 16-23). Would you consider making a pledge to support my team? A suggested pledge could range anywhere from $0.05 - $5 per piece of trash.
Please visit my fundraising page to learn more about Trash-a-thon and how to support our efforts:

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
