That helps! Thanks for patiently explaining it to me. Now for the Relay for Life teams--the donation check just goes straight to the ACS in the team's name and they get credit for it at their walk?

The donation check goes by the name you put in on the show for the organization. I never did a Relay for Life fundraiser so I am not the one to answer about how the team's name get credit for their walk--I am sure someone on this board can answer this one better.

You are quite welcome--we all help each other here in many ways!
 
Has anyone approached a physicians office for working a fundraiser with HWC?

Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cheryl
 
I did a couple of doctor's offices last year with HWC, but barely got $300 in orders from 4 offices combined. I felt like I worked my butt off with the campaign, and even had an article in the local paper, but came up with NOTHING!

Harriet~
Thanks for ALL of your information about HWC. I'm excited to get my fundraisers going so I'll just have to sit and wait for the information to show up. I found some great order forms from last year on this site, so hopefully someone will come out with those soon.
 
Amanda,

Patience is a virtue and something most of us don't have at times--we want it yesterday as you can tell from most of the posts on this board. Sometimes I am so into a promotion down the road that I forget what month I am actually in and have to remember that I need to concentrate on the current month just as much.

Before you know it we will have the new items numbers and prices to get the 2007 HWC forms ready.

Just think of it as something that you'll see after your honeymoon!
 
Mandy & Christy...usually with a walk, the team is raising money for several months before the event, so the May event can go towards their total. When you do a FR, the check is sent to the host and made out to the org, so when that host turns it in to ACS they can ask for it to be credited to that team. HTH!
 
Thanks, Lisa. I knew someone on here would be able to answer that--I didn't have my thinking cap on. It works just like a normal fundraiser!

You're welcome Harriet...it's what I get paid to do in my day job :D
 
So exactly how did you ladies tie in a PC fundraiser to Relay for Life? I have been invited to the team capt mtg to discuss PC fundraiser but have no idea what I am going to say! Our walk is March 30. So would one team add this to their fundraiser or just a team captain thing? I am so lost. I dont want to lose the opportunity just cuz i am fundraiser "green". (no pun intended) Any ideas? Thank you, Kristi Pea****
 
Kristi, a PC fundraiser is simply another activity the teams can do in addition to asking friends and family to sponsor them with straight donations. They can turn in the check they get from PC and have it count towards their team's goal. HTH.
