I am doing my first fundraiser for my hockey team on Feb 1st. How long will it take for HO to deliver the cheque to our team? Can the cheque be payable to the treasurer? I figure that we should have about $1500-2000 in sales. How can I ensure that we get the biggest bang for the buck? Any suggestions to increase profits? I am willing to donate my commission along with the 15% fundraiser....or should I submit as a cooking show, and donate all my commission? We need the money for a tournament on Feb 24?
Thanks
 
Hi, I have only done one fundraiser before and I submitted it as a cooking show and donated my whole commission. This way the organization got a cheque from me, pretty well right away. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks. I guess I would be easier to submit as regular show..... What about taking the host product value and raffling off products?
