The PONG approaches

G’day Parents,

I’ve written about the Youth Unite ping-pong-a-thon previously. If you missed that post, please do have a read.

I received an update on the campaign from the organisers and wanted to share some of the details with you here.

GIGANTIC. WEEK. OF. PONG.

Team Pong, this week you:
– Broke the All-time School Venue Record
– Recruited another 250 Pongers to the team
– Had a 14 year old event organiser raise more than $3,000
– Had your head shaved to encourage generosity from donors
– Raised another $88,000 that will change young lives FOREVER!!!
Strap yourself in – 26 more venues in PLAY this week – the biggest in Pong history.
Today YOU have the chance to help young people who are in situations of horrible abuse/exploitation to rise. You can inspire others to make a difference too.

If you’ve already played: 
– It’s not too late to get more sponsors.
– Dare someone to play at one of 50+ remaining venues or in The Global Pong.

If you’re yet to Pong:
– Invite others to play with you or sponsor you. Every time you get someone to sign up to play you potentially double your impact!

TOP 3 FUNDRAISING TIPS
1. Ask people face-to face to sponsor you.  They rarely say no.
2. Send a personal email to family & friends asking them to support you.
3. Use social media leading up to your event & while you’re playing .
Always include your fundraising page link when inviting sponsors.
