In the case of starting the show in April to boost sales to end in early May you would do the same show the HWC products in addition to the products in the catalog. You can have as many people as possible collecting orders.
If a show is put in as Fundraiser, your commission is 15% (if under $15,000 in your career sales, otherwise 17%) and the chairperson for the fundraiser can make purchases on her own and then is only entitled to whatever the Host special is at 60% off--no other host benefits. They do not get any other host benefits.
You can do a cooking or catalog show for the fundraiser.
We get the information usually in February or March (I can't remember at the moment) that is the host and guest special sheets. In March you can earn the HWC products in a promotion.
This is done just like a regular fundraiser except this year they are giving HWC Fundraisers more money in May as this is PC's HWC month.
I hope I haven't confused you any. Please let me know if I can help you more.
Naturally the more sales in these fundraisers means more money for the organization.

Kathy:
I am a little confused on what you mean about regular shows count towards the HWP (do you mean Help Whip products or Help Whip Cancer campaign?)
The hwp (otherwise known as pink products) are sold all through May in addition to our normal catalog products regardless if it is a normal cooking show, catalog show, bridal shower show or fundraiser.
A portion of the sale of the special items (Help Whip Cancer items) goes to the American Cancer Society (PC sends them a lump sum check at the end of the campaign). It usually is $1 from the sale of each product.
Let me know if this helps or you need more information.

This fundraiser (Relay) that is in July is just like any other month's fundraiser.
PC donates 10% for product sales under $600 and 15% for product sales over $600. No special products, our normal products and guest specials for that month apply. The host (fundraiser chairperson) can buy the host special at 60% but does not get any other host rewards.
May is different as that is the designated month that PC has chosen as our Help Whip Cancer campaign. This year that are giving a bigger donation. Only in May do we have special products (guest specials) that are geared for this campaign and PC donates a $1 from each sale of these special products to the American Cancer Society.
I hope this helps you out. If not just ask us more.

So the fund-raiser funds just go the organization like normal? It doesn't have to be a fund-raiser for a cancer group? The Cancer donation comes from the sale of HWC products, regardless of if they're sold at a regular show or a fund-raiser?

I would start with a cooking show. Get your whole team together and explain the products (HWC) and how PC gives $1 to ACS for every product sold, plus because you're doing a fundraiser PC gives a percent also.
As a team come up with a figure you want to raise, pass out catalogs ( like a catty show) and have them collect as many orders as they can, I would also see if other family members of your team could collect orders. Reg products & pink ones. Remind them that PC gives an additional $3 for every show booked, that'll add up too. Hope this helped.
and yes, you can do this in April and turn it in as a May show, just remember not to give out Aprils specials.

Your welcome, Christy.
If I understand you correctly yes the fundraiser funds go to the organization like a normal fundraiser would. Yes, the cancer donation ($1 from each of the HWC products sold) goes to the American Cancer Society (PC does this) regardless of if it came from a regular show or fundraiser.
Just remember if you do a HWC fundraiser (no relay) in May the fundraiser funds are higher only because of the new PC ruling that came out this week.
I hope I didn't confuse you or anyone else.

You can do a fundraiser for any group and their cause.
The only way it is a HWC fundraiser is if whoever the host is wants it to be that way to raise money for the American Cancer Society instead of getting host benefits. Some people do this as their way of helping out the ACS. I usually do 1 show as a HWC in May at my place every year. People tend to spend more when they know it is going for a good cause.
The only fundraiser to get the extra percentage is the May HWC fundraiser.

I will try to find the information about the HWC from last year. We will get new information in a future CN in the next month or so about this years program.
