Purpose of Email
It is recommended that this type of email be sent to team members on a monthly basis to acknowledge them for the great job they are doing on your team. It is a great way to say:
- We are so proud of all the work you have done so far on your donations
- We care about your fundraising progress
- You are a valued team member and we care about your success
- You are not alone in your excitement on reaching incremental fundraising milestones
We recommend copying your Leadership Team on this email so they may take the opportunity to congratulate your team member as well. In our experience, athletes appreciate this congratulatory communication as it makes them feel very special and part of a supportive team.
