Notes for donors

Talking Points for Donors and Helpers

As you spread the word about the SHS Scholarships Program among your classmates, friends and co-workers, here are a few talking points that you may print out to use or handout to your audience.

• We have mailed nearly 300 letters to all donors plus SHS North and South grads and businesses, all of whom have yet to become donors.

• Now, we begin knocking on e-doors through social media. We need you to become an annual donor and help us spread the word. 800 767-4916.

• See Jack57shs on twitter and JackHutslar on Facebook, LinkedIN plus the “News” button at www.SHSscholarships.com.

• How you can help. Retweet these tweets on your pages and spread the word on your social media sites including Facebook and LinkedIN.

• And, of course, become an annual donor to the SHS Scholarships Program. That sets a good examples for others.

• If you want to go an extra mile, then ask a classmate, friend, relative or business owner to become an annual donor starting in 2012.

• When sending your donation to The Springfield Foundation, please designate it for the SHS Scholarships Program.

• Now we are relying on SHS North and South grads from all graduating classes to become annual donors. See www.SHSscholarships.com for details.

$20.12 would be a nice start for your annual donation. Or $201.20 or even $2,012.00.

• We have received $7,600+ in donations, and we need 
1) $35,000 in donations to begin making SHS awards. 
2) 1-2-3 families or companies to start or help us link with annual fundraising activities.

• There are six (6) scholarship programs at The Springfield Foundation JUST for SHS graduates. Some have very specific awards criteria.

• SHS has a total of just 10 scholarships for our new SHS grads. In 2011, SHS grads received 74 scholarships grants. They received 104 in 2012.

• Criteria for SHS awards are 
Leadership. 
Service. 
Academic performance. 
Need.

• Leadership and Service is achieved by participation in school and community activities regardless of grades plus staying out of trouble, of course.
