GUIDELINES FOR COLLECTORSWe realise it takes courage and commitment to help in street appeals so we are truly grateful for your support. The following guidelines may be of help and clarify some of the conditions of our street collection. TIPS FOR COLLECTORS- Try to remain positive and polite. If you start feeling tired, take a break.
- If you're in a costume, please take care of it.
- If you feel like continuing past the initial two hours and are not in a costume, go for it. Otherwise, check to see if the costume is needed first.
- Speak clearly and confidently when asking for a donation.
- Try to establish eye contact with people and smile. Ask if they would like to make a donation.
- Hold the bucket in front of you. Ask people if they would like a sticker.
