Pledge Raising
The House of Hearts Charity Bonspiel benefits Project Joy, which raises money to fight childhood hunger.
The most basic – yet most important and largest fundraiser for the HOH is pledges!
- This is above & beyond your entry fee.
- This is the area that really makes our contribution to Project Joy.
- This is the one time “you” can contribute to the HOH where it doesn’t come out of your own pocket!
- 100% of your pledges go directly to the charity.
- Bring your completed pledge sheet and pledges to registration the day of the event.
- No sharing pledges – can donate your entire total to one person, must be arranged by March 13th, 2025.
Create an online fundraising site with Give Butter! Share it online to raise pledges from your friends and family. Go to the link below and click on “Fundraise” – will go live when registration opens on January 17th 2025.
Download HOH Pledge Sheet to record pledges you gather offline.
- Did you get a team sponsor? Team sponsors are $120 and 100% of it will count toward your pledge total!
- Donate items for the baskets or silent auction. All donations due by March 14th, 2025! A portion of the donation’s value will be counted on your pledge sheet. (The amount is under the discretion of the silent auction chair, typically 25-50% of retail value) 50% of a Gift certificate’s value will count towards your pledge total.
