Helping a Young Teen Reach Gifted Student Camp

Help

There is a young teen with disabled parents, so family income is tiny, he has a opportunity to go to gifted student camp. I would like to offer a PC fundraiser to him to help him raise the funds. Can someone give me some guidance as to doing a fundraiser for a "person" instead of a group?

Thanks

Carol

They'll either need to have a fund set up at a local bank ("the Carl Camper fund") or have the camp name as the organization, because HO won't write a FR check to an individual. If you can find a central location that's free (like a community center), you can have a show/open house to collect orders - and can publicize it to the community.

It would really be done the same way. I imagine that you would want to get people that he knows involved, maybe from school or something?

Your organization would be "John's Summer Camp" with someone as the host.

How would PC send the check? John Smith or "John's summer camp fund"?

Ooo, let us know how it goes! I hope it raises tons of money for him to go to camp!
