Hey guys, so we're 10% of the way to our goal of contacting 500 companies this week. So far only a few people have responded by contacting companies. I just want to stress again that our survival as a program depends on our fundraising success in the next two weeks. We need everyone on the team to literally send 5 emails by the end of the week. Joe emailed out a sample email template and we have the media package, so this shouldn't take more than an hour of your time. *It's mission critical time guys, and we need everyone's buy-in. * https://docs.google.com/a/bu.edu/spreadsheets/d/1v4QCXD6svlrCEG3VwEizcEkDjsBbT3dIvf20Fg0TIis/edit#gid=0 On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 9:40 PM, Robert Palladino <bvp95@xxxxxx> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > Whether or not you were at the fundraising meeting tonight, we need *ALL* > of your help.
