Deciding on a Fundraiser for Relay for Life: Navigating Family Connections

[candiejayne]

I was sent an email today from a co-workers daughter asking for donations for Relay for Life. My first immediate thought was to offer her a fundraiser show. BUT my conscience took over and said no. Her aunt is my recruiter. Do I offer it to her, leave it alone, or suggest to her to talk to her aunt about a PC fundraiser? I'm not sure what to do here.

I'd ask my recruiter if she'd mentioned that idea to her niece yet... and see where the conversation goes from there. She might say she hasn't - and either she'll talk to her niece or she'll tell you to talk to her since you had the idea. If I had a recruit bring that idea to me and I hadn't already thought of it... I'd be happy for them to run with the idea!

I would direct her to your recruiter, she may not have any idea of the connection.

thats exactly what i thought. that way your mentioning the idea to your recruiter and it also insures that your not stepping on her toes.... good luck and i hope it works out!

I'll send her an email and see what she says. I know she was given the same email as I was from her neice because her email was listed on it too. Thanks for your feedback!
