Finance

The Finance Captains have a amazing opprotunity to spread enthusiasm and awareness for THON! Finance or "FUN-ance" Captains are responsible for maintaining accurate organization totals, participating at Canning Drop- Offs, managing checks, pledges and donations and to facilitate THON Chairs' and donors' financial needs. Some Finance captains are also in charge of various committees, teaching and inspiring them during the THON year! All of this and more can be accomplished by a truly special and motivated Finance Team! For more information, please contact the Overall Financial Chairperson, Marguerite Moran at finance@thon.org.

These two captains have a committee to assist them with Dancer Registration and Canning Drop-Off.

Donor Relations Liaisons (2)

These individuals will act as liaisons between the Donor Relations committee and Finance. Because a few of the responsibilities previously designated to Finance are now being handled by DR, this position is a very important one. These two people will handle the Finance aspect of corporate donations as well as individual donations.

Gift Processing Liaisons (2)

The Gift Processing Captains, much like pledge entry, will be responsible for entering all checks into our system and sending them out in batches. It is very important that these are done on a weekly basis so we can start fresh each Monday. These captains will have a committee to assist in this process as well as Canning Drop-Off. They will also help plan Green Shirt Orientation.

Pledge Entry Captains (6)

The Pledge Entry Captains will be responsible for managing all pledges that come in throughout the year. They will be paired up and each pair will have a committee of 25-35 members who will assist with Pledges and Canning Drop-Off. These captains will ensure that pledges are entered in an organized and timely fashion. With the help of their committee members, the P.E. Captains will make pledge entry more efficient than ever before. The Pledge Entry Captains will also help the Overall plan Green Shirt Orientation.
