Just to add to what MidloDad stated...we use the same principle with the "straight donations" and our boosters seem to like it. At the beginning of the year, we require our players to submit to us the names/addresses of 5 people who they think would be interested in making a donation to our program. Using a form letter on the computer, I add the (potential)donor's name, change a few details if neccessary in the letter, then add the player's name and mine at the bottom. The players will then sign all 5 letters and I send them out with self-addressed stamped return envelopes. We have had tremendous success with this fund-raiser.
