Q: I love PoP, but I have never fundraised or became involved in anything like this before. How do I start?
A: We are so excited that you want to become involved with PoP! There are so many ways for you to do so. First,
learn all you can about PoP – join one of our upcoming live webinars, register by filling out the Join the Movement
form on our website. Be sure to follow us on Twitter, “like” our page on Facebook, and invite all of your friends to join
us: @pencilsofpromis and www.facebook.com/pencilsofpromise. Next, plan a fundraising event for PoP!

page by clicking on the “Create a Fundraiser” tab. Lastly, join our holiday campaign and ask your friends and
family to do so as well! Make one Promise and change one life. One promise is $10/month through 2011 – which
funds a child’s education for one year. Join at www.seasonofpromises.org

without our asking and as you can imagine, he’s a very busy teen,
so we can’t ask him to attend every young supporter event.
