Okay, so I jumped out and offered fundraising opportunities to local RFL teams. I found a letter on here that offered a MEGA SHOW for RFL teams. So I sent an email, and one of the local teams responded back that they would love to do the show.

Uh, yeah, now what do I do? How silly of me to offer something I don't know anything about. I am confident I will figure it out, especially with the help of the wonderful people on Chef Success.

Below is the message I sent to the RFL team:
For your Relay Teams I would like to offer a MEGA SHOW to help with fundraising efforts. I will provide the following for the MEGA SHOW:
Facility for the show
Refreshments
Quality Pampered Chef products to raffle at the MEGA SHOW
20% of the commissionable sales as a donation to your team

All they have to provide is the people. So do I present this just like a Fundraiser cooking show, and hope that I get the MEGA turnout? Do I offer to send them out with catalogs and gather orders? So I probably need to do that on the night I meet with the team captains so they can bring the orders back to me on the MEGA SHOW night.

Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
 
Let us know how it turns out. I've heard a lot about the Mega shows but the idea scares me!
If I hear other people having success with them then maybe I'll try one one day.
 
I was really pleased that being a Pampered Chef Consultant would allow me to offer fundraisers. I've just finished my first 30 days! I am already working with a support group and talking to another about raising funds for ovarian cancer.

I haven't seen any table talk or tutorials about fundraising. Do you have any tips?

What is a Mega Show?

How do the links between my PWS and the organization work?

How is the final cheque amount calculated. I don't want the organization to think that I'm profiting from the campaign, nor do I want to seem tacky by saying "i'm losing 5%", which seems to be what is happening.

And do fundraisers in Canada work the same as in the States?

Cheers
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MEGA SHOW and how does it benefit RFL teams?

A MEGA SHOW is a large-scale fundraising event that brings together multiple participants, such as family and friends, to support a cause, like Relay for Life (RFL) teams. It benefits RFL teams by maximizing sales through a wider audience, increasing donations, and creating a fun community atmosphere that encourages participation and support for cancer research.

How can I promote my MEGA SHOW effectively?

To promote your MEGA SHOW effectively, utilize social media platforms, create engaging event pages, and send out personalized invitations. Encourage team members to share the event with their networks, and consider using eye-catching graphics and videos to highlight the purpose of the fundraiser. Additionally, local community boards and newsletters can be great places to spread the word.

What types of products should I feature at the MEGA SHOW?

Focus on popular and versatile Pampered Chef products that appeal to a wide audience, such as kitchen tools, cookware, and meal prep items. Consider showcasing seasonal or themed products that align with the time of year or upcoming holidays. Offering exclusive bundles or discounts for the event can also attract more attendees and boost sales.

How can I engage attendees during the MEGA SHOW?

Engage attendees by hosting interactive cooking demonstrations, offering product samples, and organizing fun games or raffles. Encourage team members to share personal stories related to the cause, fostering a sense of community. Additionally, providing incentives for attendees to make purchases, such as discounts or free gifts, can enhance engagement and increase sales.

What are some tips for following up after the MEGA SHOW?

After the MEGA SHOW, follow up with attendees through thank-you emails or messages, expressing gratitude for their support. Share the impact of their contributions and how the funds will be used. Additionally, consider sending out a survey to gather feedback on the event, which can help improve future fundraisers. Keep the momentum going by inviting them to future events or sharing updates on the RFL team's progress.
