Fundraising for Medical Expenses: Questions & Answers

[nbittermann]

Hi all- I have a question. Can we do FR for things such as raising money for growth hormone therepy for a child or In-vetro Fertilization for someone who's insurance won't cover it? I had someone ask about both situations. Let me know if anyone knows about this kind of thing and how to go about doing it. Thanks so much! Nicole

From what I understand, as long as the fundraiser is legitimate, it can be done for anything. I would e-mail HO just to be sure.

I did a fundraiser for a couple who set up a fund because they were raising money to adopt a child. Their in-vitro was unsuccessful, so they decided to go the adoption route but the expense wasn't going to make it possible. I was told by HO back then that as long as there is an actual fund set up at a bank, the name of that fund is who they will cut the check to. Pretty much anything is possible I believe.

Hi Nicole,Thank you for reaching out with your question. As a Pampered Chef consultant, we are always looking for ways to give back and make a positive impact in our communities. While I am not familiar with the specific policies and guidelines for fundraising for medical treatments, I would suggest reaching out to the Pampered Chef Home Office for more information and guidance. They may be able to provide resources or connect you with other consultants who have experience with similar situations. Additionally, you could also consider partnering with a local charity or organization that specializes in these types of fundraising efforts. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best in your efforts to support those in need.Best,
