I have a co-worker who was telling me about a symposium she would like to attend in Australia in January. She was telling me how much $ she will need to go, and I was wondering if you can do a fundraiser for a single person's cause????

Thanks for your input,
Trina
 
This was taken from a fundraising flyer my director sent me. I hope the info is correct:

"Who is Interested in Fund Raisers?
Everyone! ANY group that is looking for a way to raise money! Some examples include marching bands, schools, sports teams, church groups, sorority groups, professional women’s organizations, American Cancer Society, foster parent groups, anyone raising money to attend a trip (as long as they’re linking to a non-profit…example: teens raising money to go on a trip to France WITH their chorus), pom squads, pre-schools, etc."
 
HO won't make out a check to an individual, but if she has a bank account set up in a "fund name" into which she can deposit the check that will work. For example, "Suzy Host's Conference Fund."
