So I'm hosting an event/festival this coming weekend for the Vietnamese New Year, and during it I'm supposed to be asking people in the audience to donate money for the club that's presenting this event. Most of them will be college kids and there'll also be a bunch of adults there too..however I really don't know how to approach them for such a thing. It'll be about halfway through the show when it happens..what's going to happen is, is that there's going a lion dance, and at the end of it I go on the stage, and announce that the lion is going to go around collecting money..
So far I've gotten something like this "Well ladies and gentlemen, we hope you've enjoyed the show so far tonight, and tonight's performances would certainly not be possible without all your generous help and support. However in order to continue providing such events and festivities in the future, along with our Saturday tutorial programs and other community programs, we will still need all the help that we can get. After all we're poor starving college students who need alcohol money too. But in all seriousness, any little bit helps..and just remember, karma strikes strongest on Tet [New Year's]."
Definitely needs some editing if I want any results..I know if I heard that I wouldn't be too motivated to give. What can I add/reduce to it? Any help is appreciated..
