Boosting Funds for Cancer and Heart Center: HWC & Doctors Office Fundraiser

[Cindycooks]

I posted this down under fundraisers already, but this may be the more appropriate place! Last year I did not do anything with this because I was busy planning my daughters wedding for early June. We have a big Cancer Center here. I was thinking of droppiing off a couple catalogs and order forms and doing maybe a mystery host type show. This place is huge with lots of employees. Draw one name at the end for the benefits. What do you think? How do I approach them....or would you go about this a different way. Anyone with experience in HWC please help! I'm tryin to plan ahead and go about this in the best way! We also have a Heart Center here too.

fundraiserYou might want to present it as a fundraiser for the cancer center or the doctors offices. I don't know if they accept money like that, but you could explain to them they get up to 15% of the sales and $2.00 for every booking ALSO, for every HWC item sold $1.00 will be donated to the HWC campaign. Then you can offer something for the top in sales, the one with most bookings... etc. that would have to come out of your pocket but it's usually worth it, AND it's a write off at the end of the year.

That sounds like a great idea! Doing a mystery host show at the Cancer Center would not only raise money for a good cause, but also raise awareness about the products you are selling. I would suggest reaching out to the Cancer Center's human resources department or community outreach team to see if they can help you coordinate the event. You could also try reaching out to the head of the Cancer Center to see if they would be interested in partnering with you for the fundraiser. As for approaching the employees, you could send out an email or flyer to all of them explaining the event and how they can participate. Good luck with your fundraiser!
