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.
