This was a planning day with a little action included.
Towards the beginning we reviewed all of our assignments on Asana. Many people were unsure on their assignments, so a period was taken to explain to them what exactly they must do.
From there we talked about planning prizes for the event. We figured we wouldn't create as much of a pledger population without an incentive involved. The main idea we plan to activate is having a donation of a gift card for 50-100 dollars from a company that will support Beef Free Week.
Moving on, we thought it'd be helpful to test our method of calling a company, explaining our ideas, and asking for a donation. We started with calling Uno Pizzeria, their response lead us to Uno Dough Raisers. This is there online site for donations and gifts to non-profit organizations. Our calls with other companies such as Big-Y had a similar outcome - being sent online.
