Fundraising for Humane Society & Pampered Chef: Get Feedback on My Crazy Idea!

[CynthiaJohnson83]

I have this crazy idea and I wanted to get feedback on what other people thought. The local humane socity is having a fundraiser in may (walk for the animals). My idea was to go to them and see if they wanted to have a fundraiser with pc. There wouldn't be a show and the only thing I would pass out would be a flyer, and they would order online. I know that they don't make much with the fundraiser, so I would give a chunk of my comission as well. The great thing is that may is hwc month and when people bought things they would be helping out two causes. My plan was to also gather up recipes for pet foods and treats that can be made with pc products. Make it more for the pets. What do yall think? Anyone done a fundraiser like this? Any feedback would be great.

I'll have to dig through my files, or even check here, but somewhere there is a file that has to do with parties for your pets. If I can find it I'll post it here.

I'll look.

I think this is a great idea! Just make sure that you spell out exactly what money goes to what cause so people don't get confused. Maybe have an example saying the order was HWC cake decorating stencils and HWC clips ($10)---$2 goes to ACS and $1.00 or $1.50 goes to humane society. Maybe an example without HWC products so they can see that more is going to humane society?? Good luck and let us know how it goes!Gillian Wright

I just did something, because I knew that the one animal shelter in my area has been struggling, but I sent them a letter explaining about the fundraiser. I then enclosed that awesome fundraiser brochure that I found that someone here made. I took one recipe from the Pampered Pooch recipes, printed it as a postcard, and then cut them out with some curvy side scrapbooking scissors, and enclosed it with the info.
