Examples on next slides

Honor Notify If a donor wants to give in Honor or Memory of someone, click this box.

Enter the name of the person the donor wants to honor or remember.

As a respectful reminder: In Honor is to celebrate a patient or staff member who is still living; In Memory is to remember the legacy of a patient or staff member who has passed.

If the donor would like the honoree to be notified click on the “Yes” and enter the honoree’s information.

Share a Story A donor will sometimes want to share a story of a patient at Children’s Colorado – past or current.

This box is where you may share a brief description of the donor’s story. This information will immediately be uploaded to the live event dashboard; our radio talent and producers will be able to see it and potentially speak about it on-air.

Please confirm with the donor that their story can be shared live on-air at the event.

Timing Information:

• PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLIER THAN YOUR SCHEDULED SHIFT! • Your start time includes time to park, check-in, bathrooms, and snacks & a short training before your shift begins.

• We will provide snacks, drinks and full meals (depending on your shift time) before your shift on the phone.

• Once your shift is over, you are free to leave.

Things to remember: •

Please keep your voices down. Noise travels and escalates quickly in our atrium!

• We cannot change the volume of the live-stream radio over the speakers in the atrium, but you may turn up the volume on your phone.

•

Do not distract anyone with headphones on or a microphone in their hand.

•

If you need to leave your phone station for any reason (restroom, break, etc.), press the “Hlog” button on your phone and lock your laptop by pressing CTRL, ALT, and DELETE before you go.

•

We cannot promise that someone will be able to share their story on-air.

•

When in doubt: raise your hand!
