The Pitch

The Pitch
[SIGN] Top secret meeting. Boardroom.
Alec:
I've asked you all here today because we need some out-of-the-box ideas to help raise support for this very special place that we all love so much. Shriners Hospitals for Children. They've changed my life and I know they've changed yours too. So, what have you got?
Speaker 2:
How about a lemonade stand with 19 lemons? And we say, "Don't be a sourpuss. Call today."
[TEXT] Shriners Hospitals for Children Love to the Rescue logo. Please call now!
[BANNER] Get this blanket with your gift of $19 a month. 855-661-5683. Do you know a child who needs our specialized care? Contact your local Shriners Hospitals for Children today.
Alec:
That's an idea, but I'm pretty sure people would love this adorable blanket as a thank you over lemons. Any other ideas?
[THOUGHT BUBBLE] I hope they call now!
Speaker 3:
Oh, oh. How about 19 kittens? "Please go online and donate. Meow." Who doesn't love kittens? And kittens and I could fly over them like superheroes. And then space dinosaurs with jetpacks fly in and say, "Call now before we go extinct."
Alec:
Those are all great ideas, but we're missing something. You know, the heart of it all. Kaleb, what do you think?
Kaleb:
I love Shriners Hospitals and the doctors and nurses. I just wish everyone knew their small monthly gifts changed my life and the lives of all the other children they help every day. Without their monthly support, none of this will be possible. I just think we should say, "Thank you and we love you."
[BANNER] Just $19 a month shows you care. Love Shriners.org.
Alec:
Wow, that's right on, Kaleb.
Kaleb:
When you call or go to LoveShriners.org right now, you'll be helping kids like us continue to get the amazing care only Shriners Hospitals for Children can provide. Please call or go online right now. If operators are busy, please call again or go to LoveShriners.org. Do think people really gift because of these commercials, Alec?
[BANNER] Loveshriners.org. 855-661-5683.
Alec:
I think they will, buddy. I really think they will.
Speaker 2:
Please call or go online right away to give. Thank you.
