BEC情景对话：Fundraising

Dialogue 1

M1:  Hello,  my name is Petter,  I'm calling on behalf of Save the Children Fund,  have you heard our organization before?

M2:  Eh. . . yes,  I think so.  Don't you do some kind of charity work by taking care of starving children in Africa or something?

M1:  Yes sir,  that's it exactly.  We don't only serve the children in Africa,  but we also take care of children in poverty all over the globe.  Well sir, I'm calling today to ask for your contribution to our charitable organization. 

M2: Is that right?

M1: We're a service organization that is a legally registered charity.  We operate in more than a hundred countries,  but most of our adminstration and workers are all volunteers,  when you contribute to our cause,  one hundred percent of your donation goes directly to the children who need it. 

M2:  What kind of contributions are you asking for?

M1:  We accept donations of any ammount,  depending on your ability and desire to share.  We can accept donations anywhere from twenty dollars to more than a thousand dollars.  Additionally,  your contribution is completely tax deductible,  can I count on you for support this year?

M2:  Sure,  I'm willing to support your cause,  eh. . .  how can I make donation?

Dialogue 2

M:  How did your company's fundraising go?

F:  The fundraising evnets went really well.  We would be able to partner with few of our competiters,  all in fun,  of course,  to sponsor a merry fun for America Cancer Society,  all of the people who participate it had a great time,  and we would be able to raise a lot of money to contribute to cancert research. 

M:  So how does it work? How would you able to make money with the merry fun?

F:  Each of the runners that participated the merry fun raise paid a ten dollar entrance speed,  also,  they went door to door to get sponsors who pledged a dollar per mile that participants ran,  all along we were able to raise several thousand dollars. 

M:  Sounds a great deal for American Cancer Society. 

F:  In all honesty,  it's also a great deal for our company,  the exposure that begins for sponsors and invent like this was great for our image in the community.  We accomplished as much as last year's advertising campaign,  plus we were able to do a little fundraising for a good cause.
