Tonight I went to pick up chicken for dinner and saw a heartbreaking flyer.

The man has terminal lung cancer and has been given 1-3 years to live. He even attached verification of his illness.

He has no insurance and is worried his wife and kids will be out on the street when he dies.

I would love to suggest a fundraiser ... what way do you suggest would raise the most money? An actual fundraiser or a raffle of key products, or some combination of both?

Obviously the family has bigger things to worry about than taking Pampered Chef orders. :(
 
Why not put together a Quarter Auction or Pampered Bingo for them. Talk to some Relay for Life teams and see what they do that had brought in the most money and change it to fit your business

How can Pampered Chef contribute to a fundraiser for a family in need?

Pampered Chef can contribute by hosting a direct sales party where a portion of the sales proceeds goes directly to the family. This not only helps raise funds but also allows participants to purchase quality kitchen products while supporting a good cause.
