Calling Orgs to Offer Fundraisers- What Do I Say?

[kdangel518]

I have a list of animal shelters, food pantries, and churches in my area that I am going to start calling to offer fundraisers. Before I do so I would like to have at least a loose script so I don't stumble over my words, lol.I have such a hard time coming up with what to say though! Does anyone have a script or suggestions to use? I am just terrible with this! TIA!
