You receive a tip about a potential donor through some of your coworkers. You go to visit him and realize that it$$s a local celebrity who used to play professional basketball. He says he$$d like to make a donation, but wants to spend a day with you in order to get to know the organization and its purposes through one of its representatives. Based on the business communications principle that says you are part of the message, which of the following would be the best way to prepare to spend that day?

Looking up local activities that you could share with the potential donor to make sure he has a good time with you

Assembling a team of people for the day, all of whom will have responsibility over a particular aspect of the nonprofit$$s functions

Getting to know this particular player and his athletic background, in order to see what common ground you have with him and sports

Studying your past work in the organization, especially in relation to donations and how those donations were spent
