The pledge drives are conducted twice a year, in April and August.  The Indian Community volunteers actively participate in these fund raising activities.  The work consists of answering telephones to  take financial pledges from callers.  Each drive lasts for four hours in shifts of two hours.  Each shift requires eight volunteers to answer the telephones. An added bonus is that all volunteers are shown accepting pledges on live TV.  We are constantly looking for new volunteers including teenagers.  Come join an exciting event, raise money for a good cause, be seen by your friends on TV and have fun!
