Campaign / use case type

Mixed — event logistics, reminders, and promotional updates for registered GO DAY leaders, parents, and guardians.

Program name and description

Matthew Harder sends GO DAY text messages to registered leaders, parents, and guardians who opt in. Messages include event reminders, logistics updates, the giving link, and follow-up about the GO DAY rally and future network events. Consent to receive texts is never required to register for GO DAY.

Sample messages

Messages may contain event details, reminders, links to the GO DAY site, the giving page, toolkit, report form, and privacy/terms pages. Every message includes opt-out instructions.

  • This is Matt with NWYOUTH. Kentridge High School is on the GO DAY map for 09/23. Reach your school at the flag pole, reach the world by giving $10+ to Speed the Light: https://hopegives.com/campaigns/100k-on-go-day Game plan is in your email. Reply STOP to opt out.

Recipient consent (message flow)

We only text people who ask us to. Consent is never bought, sold, shared, or assumed, and it is never a condition of registering for GO DAY.

How end users opt in:

  • Web form. The GO DAY registration form at nwyouthgo.com collects a mobile phone number and includes a consent checkbox that is not pre-selected. The user must actively check it.
  • Via text. A person may text START, YES, or UNSTOP to our number to begin or resume messages.
  • Verbal. At in-person GO DAY meetings, a leader may read the disclosure aloud and record the person's spoken consent along with their number.
  • Paper form. Printed GO DAY signup sheets carry the same disclosure and an unchecked consent box.
  • Mobile QR code. QR codes on GO DAY posters and slides link to the same web form described above.

What the web opt-in form contains:

  • A mobile phone number input field
  • A consent checkbox that is not pre-selected
  • A clear description of the messages that will be sent
  • Message frequency information
  • “Message and data rates may apply.”
  • “Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help.”
  • Links to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
  • A clearly labeled submit button

Exact disclosure shown next to the checkbox:

“Yes, text me the GO DAY game plan, reminders, and the giving link from NW YOUTH. Approximately 2–4 messages per month, more during event week. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help. See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.”

Minors under 18 never receive texts from us. On the student path we collect a parent or guardian's number instead, send them one notification message, and only send further messages after they reply YES, START, or UNSTOP.

Message frequency

Approximately 2 to 4 messages per month, with more messages during the week of the event.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply.

How to opt out

Reply STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END or QUIT to any message. We will confirm:

“You've been unsubscribed from GO DAY texts. Reply START to resubscribe or email nwyouth@nwministy.com for help.”

How to get help

Reply HELP or INFO to any message. We will reply:

“GO DAY text support. Visit /privacy for privacy info, or email nwyouth@nwministy.com / call 425-777-7969.”
