Table Captain Basics
Before you even start inviting, it’s good to keep in mind that this is a benefit event for Washington Conservation Voters. Remember to be clear with your expectations and be sure to invite guests to join you in making a financial gift at the event.
- Please do your best to fill each seat with environmental champions. Should you have more than 10 guests, we will do our best to accommodate everyone. If you are hosting a half table, please work to bring 5 guests.
- Don’t hesitate to be explicit about the dollar level at which you would like your guests to contribute; this helps avoid misunderstandings about gift expectations at the event.
- All gifts can be paid over the course of a year: monthly or in various installment options. Some Table Captains have had success (and fun!) setting a goal for their entire table – see how much you can raise!
- For those who cannot attend, encourage them to make a donation here. These gifts will go toward the event total, so they can still help meet your table’s goal!
