I have a (hopefully) large fundraiser tomorrow night for HWC. We were able to get a hall free of charge and emailed EVERYONE I could get my hands on a email address and asked all to foward. So I am praying for a large turn out. I even emailed local relators in hopes to get them to order for their busniess while helping fight cancer. My question is I'm going to make profiterol puffs,tuxedo brownies ,the ribbon cookies, and pink fudge (with the EAD) ..wanted to have a tasty snack for all....can these be done tonight and put in fridge or freeze? How have you guys down these in the past? Also any ideas on how the flow should go? It's really just come and go I'm not doing a demo,but I do plan on having stations for people to play with the products. I plan on doing a couple drawings for prizes...HMMM what else ? Should I play music? I would love any ideas or feedback. This will be my first fundraiser or big event so Im kind of nervous. It's for a dear friend who has breast cancer so I really want her to succeed.
 
This is my first fundraiser "Open House" that I'm having and I just sent out over 200 flyers in my development and the development behind me so I'm hoping for a huge turnout too. The only difference is I'm having this at my house...yikes I hope they all don't come at once. Anyway I was thinking of doing some games like something with the prize drawings that mimicked the show "deal or no deal" with different bags and they get to exchange the bags etc... I'm not going to put any real bad prizes something like...a season's best in one bag, a cake mix with recipe in another bag and one of my products I have in overstock like the jar opener or the bourbon vanilla.
What do you think? Any other ideas or should I just keep it low keyed and have everyone just mingle?
 
Dear fundraiser,First of all, I want to commend you for your efforts in organizing this fundraiser for HWC. It's amazing that you were able to secure a free venue and reach out to so many people through email. I'm sure your friend with breast cancer will be touched by your dedication to her cause.To answer your question, yes, profiterol puffs, tuxedo brownies, ribbon cookies, and pink fudge can definitely be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer. In fact, it's probably a good idea to make them ahead of time so you have less to worry about on the day of the event. Just make sure to properly wrap and label them to keep them fresh.As for the flow of the event, since it's a come and go event, I would suggest having designated stations for each type of treat and making it clear to guests that they are free to sample and enjoy them at their leisure. You could also have a donation box at each station to encourage contributions. It's also a great idea to have some music playing in the background to create a lively and welcoming atmosphere.For prizes, you could consider having a raffle or silent auction. You could also reach out to local businesses for donations or sponsorships. As for other ideas, you could have a photo booth with props related to breast cancer awareness, have a guest speaker share their experience with breast cancer, or have a craft station where guests can make their own pink ribbons.Overall, just remember to stay organized, have fun, and keep the focus on your friend and the cause you're supporting. I wish you all the best for a successful fundraiser!Best,
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of recipes work best for a HWC fundraiser?

For a HWC fundraiser, it's best to choose recipes that are simple, quick to prepare, and can be made in large batches. Consider crowd-pleasers like dips, appetizers, or desserts that can be easily served and shared. Recipes that utilize Pampered Chef tools can also highlight the products effectively.

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into my recipes for the fundraiser?

You can showcase Pampered Chef products by selecting recipes that specifically require them, such as using the Rockcrok for slow-cooked meals or the Food Chopper for quick prep. Highlighting the ease and efficiency of these tools during your demonstration can help engage your audience and encourage sales.

Should I provide samples of the recipes at the fundraiser?

Yes, providing samples is a great way to entice attendees and showcase the flavors of your recipes. Small portions allow guests to taste and enjoy the dishes, making them more likely to purchase the products used in the recipes. Just ensure you have enough samples for everyone!

How can I promote my fundraiser recipes on social media?

Promote your fundraiser recipes on social media by posting enticing photos of the dishes, sharing the recipes, and highlighting the Pampered Chef products used. Use engaging captions and hashtags related to your fundraiser to reach a wider audience. Consider hosting a live cooking demonstration to create excitement and encourage participation.

What should I do if I run out of a key ingredient for my recipe?

If you run out of a key ingredient, try to have a backup plan by preparing an alternative recipe that uses similar ingredients. You can also consider adjusting the recipe to accommodate what you have on hand. Communicate with your guests about the change, and emphasize the flexibility of cooking with Pampered Chef products.
