How to get sponsors

  1. Complete your personal information at the top of the Donation Form and the Disclaimer and Release section at the bottom.
  2. Read the included introductory pamphlets of AFC so that you will know how to introduce our ministries. The FAQ section on this site or on the Registration Form will also be helpful.
  3. Approach the people you know and invite them to sponsor you to hike. Hand out an AFC’s or Student Centre’s pamphlet to them and introduce them to the ministries of AFC. Let them know that if they donate $20 or above, they will receive a souvenir CD from AFC (3 versions to choose from, you'll find them in your fundraising package).
  4. In each section of the Donation Form, fill in each sponsor’s complete contact information, including the amount received in cash or cheque. An example is included in the first section.
  5. Collect the money (cash or cheque made out to AFC)
  6. Tear off the numbered stub to the right of the sponsor’s name and give it to the donor as a temporary receipt. The official receipt will be sent directly to the sponsor at the beginning of next year.
  7. If your sponsor donates $20 or more, immediately give him/her a souvenir CD. Say thank you!
  8. If you have finished one form, start another one and continue to get more sponsors!
  9. Before July 11, 2009 (Saturday), put all collected cash and cheques, and all used and unused Donation Sheet(s) into one envelop, seal and give to your group leader (if you are a group participant) or return directly to the office of AFC (if you are an individual participant). Group Leader please return all envelops from your group to the office of AFC before July 11, 2008 (Saturday). If you return the money and form to us after the deadline, we cannot guarantee that you will receive your special gift(s).
  10. We will calculate the sum of the money you raised and hand out your special gift(s) if you are eligible at the beginning of the Hikathon event.
