STEP 3: Collect The Bounty
Create a customized "ask" one-sheet. Check out the sample linked below. KTC Donation Solicitation Template
Collect your items: Pick up the phone, knock on doors, and ask people from whom you regularly buy services, for example, your hair salon, dry-cleaners, manicurist, etc. You can both ask and retrieve gift certificates and items when your normal routine takes you to each service to make it easy and natural.

They got the non-profit rate, and the event got free advertising.
