Help Me With Ideas for a Relay for Life Fundraiser!

[Cindycooks]

It is the afternoon of April 2 and will be an open house type event. The actual Relay for Life Walk is Appril 22, so this is before our HWC things are available, so it will just be regular PC items. I will need to be bringing fingerfood/appetizer type recipes. I may do one easy demo. I told her I would supply the food as a contribution. Any ideas on fingerfoods? I like the idea of maybe the Touchdown Taco dip and chips, A pizza of some type cut into squares etc....
Any ideas on how I could promote Relay for Life...or how I could go about getting HWC orders ahead of time? I have a couple of the clips from last year, so I could set up a table with that and some order forms, but I do not want to take sales away from this fundraiser. Oh - and I will have my cups and squares by then.
Also - does anyone have a Relay for Life flyer?
Thanks so much everybody!

For the finger foods, you could try making mini sandwiches, quesadillas, and wraps. You could also make a variety of fruit and veggie platters. For sweet treats, you could make mini cupcakes, brownies, and cookies. To promote Relay for Life, you could set up a table with posters and flyers about the event, as well as some information about the cause. You could also create a slideshow with photos from past Relay for Life events. If people are interested in donating to the cause, you could provide forms where they can do so. Additionally, you can print out forms to collect orders for HWC items ahead of time. You can find official Relay for Life flyers on the American Cancer Society website.

Hi there!
First of all, it's great that you're contributing to the Relay for Life event with your PC items. As for fingerfood ideas, some popular options could be mini quiches, fruit skewers, mini meatballs, or bruschetta. You could also do a veggie platter with a dip made from one of our PC mixes.
To promote Relay for Life, you could set up a donation jar and offer a special discount on certain PC items with a portion of the proceeds going towards the event. You could also have a raffle for a PC product and donate the proceeds to Relay for Life.
As for getting HWC orders ahead of time, you could offer a pre-order option for customers who attend the open house. This way, they can still support the fundraiser without taking away from the event's sales.
I'm not sure about a Relay for Life flyer, but you could always create your own or reach out to the event organizers for any promotional materials they may have.
Hope this helps and good luck with your event!
