I work at a hospital that is very pronounced in our community. We have just begun fundraisers for the American Heart Association and my boss asked me about possibly doing a PC fundraiser. The only thing that I am hesitant about is that we have multiple departments that may participate in this and I'd say an average of 30-40 employees in each department and am afraid this may get a little more than I can handle if it's all done as one big fundraiser...any suggestions??

Also, I know the chairperson of the fundraiser receives the monthly host special and this would be my boss but how would it work since our facility is raising money to give to the AHA?
 
My suggestion is that you could do a gift certificate fundraiser. Which would definitely solve the problem of it becoming more than you could handle. I am pretty sure there is something in the files that explains this in pretty good detail. I will look for it and see if I can find it.

As for the monthly host special, that is available to the chairperson or whomever is designated. That would ship to the host address that you input in PP3. And Pampered Chef would write a check to the AHA and mail it directly to them.

I hope this helps.:)
 
Multiple departments? Do a Mega-Show where you have multiple hosts (one person in each department) and a single demo where they all come watch.You'll need some help collecting orders at the end.Do a Healthy Cooking demo like Chicken Fajitas in DCB and while it's nuking you can do speedy salsa in small batter bowl w/ salad choppers - small tomatoes, pearl onions, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, black beans, corn - YUM!
