The #1 thing a parent can do. It takes five minutes.
A warmed-up contact answers the phone on Blitz Night; a cold call goes to voicemail. You're not asking for money — you're telling your people a call is coming. That one text is the difference.
When: 1–3 days before Blitz Night
The message — text it to every contact
“Hey! [Student] will be reaching out on [Day] about their band fundraiser. The money goes directly to reducing fees and building a stronger program. Just wanted to give you a heads up!”
Swap in your student's name and the Blitz Night day before you send it.
