Thank the whole world if appropriate, from the biggest contributor to the smallest, in that order. Collecting Pledges Try to make sure the same people that received the pledges knock on the same doors to collect them. With corporate pledges, the leader of your group or the treasurer should go to the company to personally collect the funds and thank them for supporting your group. If your members are reluctant to go back to collect pledges, send them in teams of two or three and cover all of their corresponding areas. If someone refuses to pay, act very sad and tell them how hard you worked.
Evaluation Try to be objective.
If you can't, just tell everyone they did a perfect job and pat yourself on the back. Write down four to five pages. This information will truly be invaluable for next year's car wash fundraiser group. Send your evaluations to our author. If you belong to a national organization send your basic plan and evaluation to them also.
