Can a Catalog Show Help Raise Funds for Alzheimer's Research?

[mmilus]

I have a friend who has hosted catalog shows for me before and is interested in doing another one. Her mother has Alzheimer's and I am discussing with her the option of making this a fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Association. Has anyone ever created a flyer, either postcard or half-page size, with information about the fundraiser and how to order on it, etc., that can be handed out and/or emailed to out-of-town friends and family? I'm thinking she could give this to her local people and invite them to share it with their friends and family, thus maximizing the potential. Because I am close to her, I am going to offer some extra benefits to her (i.e., I will give her the host benefits she would have earned if it was a regular catalog show; helping distribute local orders so she doesn't have to as she is her mother's care-taker as well as the main breadwinner for her family). I'm going to play around with some ideas tomorrow for a flyer but don't need to re-invent the wheel if there's one out there. Thanks!

I am actually having a fundraiser now and I printed postcards for the participants to hand out. Very simple and to the point. Go to www......................./...... Click on products. Enter........as host. And view catalog and order. Everything counts toward the fundraiser type of thing. I printed them on bright orange cardstock and made sure to put the closing date on them.
