Pledges received thus far from FISSAD (M) Sdn Bhd, a VVVIP who prefers to be anonymous and a NGO Persatuan. Syukran for all the Pledges.

The whole day was spent following-up on sponsors' pledges and calling on them personally.

Thanks to a friend (Read HERE) who'd agreed to drive (who's also the rep of FISSAD Sdn. Bhd. i.e. the FIRST Sponsor for CP) the journey started around lunch time and took us from Kelana Jaya - KL - TTDI - Saujana Resort - Bukit Jelutong - Taman Bahagia SS2 and finally back home around 10.30PM.

To the majority of parents who I assume are like me i.e. limited funds and would like to see their kids given the opportunity to just shine and given the exposure, here are some tips/suggestions based on my personal experience in trying to get sponsors for 2 events ( Just the Main Points. Will elaborate later).

(1) Start EARLY
Official Letter from MCF.

(2) Promote the "APPEAL"
Social Media - fb & Blogs and e-list.

(3) Sent OFFICIAL Email/Letters
Dual languages - Malay & English.
Executive Summary with Brief/Elaborate Details
Mention Costs and Deadlines.

(4) Follow-Up
 Do follow-up

(5) DOA
 Having done the above, doa/recite your prayers.

(6) Offer "Value Proposition"
 Suggests to possible sponsors, what's "in it" for them.

(7) TQ / Appreciation
Never forget to thank your sponsors at any opportunity UNLESS they prefer to remain anonymous/"under the radar".
