If you’re running a special promotional contest in conjunction with your pledge drive, you can add an option on your Pledge Form that will allow users to enter the contest without pledging. Many states require this option for all publicly-promoted contests.

Here’s how to set it up:

• Log into your Quick Pledge tools:
  http://secure.publicbroadcasting.net/xxxx/pledge.pledgeadmin (Substitute your station ID for the ‘xxxx’)
• Go into the “Pledge Form Wizard”
• Under “Pledge Type” (second screen), select option “Type 8,” “Enter me in the drawing only.” When someone chooses this option, Quick Pledge requires personal information only, no payment information is required.
• Click “Next” through the other screens. Be sure to set your desired required fields on the “Personal Information” section
• Complete and save your form.
• If people choose this option, they will not be required to make a pledge or enter their billing information.
