Has anyone done a fundraiser with a participant in the Breast Cancer 3-Day which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund? I've already booked one and offered to donate 1/2 my commission on top of the regular fundraiser donation....just wondering if anyone has done one and has flyers/letters etc they've used. I'm doing it May 1st so hopefully if we close that night (which I already talked to her about), people could also do shopping for Mothers Day.

Thanks for any advice. This will be my very first BIG fundraiser.
 
I would like to know this too. I have also been asked to do a fundraiser for this organization. Would it still be a HWC fundraiser? Thanks for any info.
 
I dia a 3-day and a relay FR last year. Do it like a regular FR. They need to money for their teams.

Search the HWC thread. There is some good info from last year.
 
i am walking in the 3-day & we did a fundraiser in march for this..
i donated 100% of my commission (which is why it says PC will donate 30% of sales). & we also offered other incentives (which youll see on the flyer).

CS isnt allowing uploads right now so if you want me to email you my flyer, let me know.
