It's Official - I Have My First Fundraiser!

[jrstephens]

I am so excited! I found out this morning. It is a hospital team raising money for their Relay for Life Team for the American Cancer Society. I will find out this afternoon for sure how many people will be selling. I am not sure if they have more than one team or not. I know it will at least be 8 people b/c that is the minimum for a team. But the girl in charge mentioned that the "whole" hospital wanted to do it, so, it could be more than one team! This is a small country hospital, so, don't start picturing 10 floors of doctors and nurses -wouldn't that be awesome!

I am doing the traditional Fundrasier. They are really excited about it too b/c they have talked about how PC will be easy to sale. The girl in charge never batted an eye when I told her our percentages. I think this is the first time that have done any fundraiser with a company, so, I think that helped. And people around here are tired of wrapping paper and doughnts.

I just talk to the organizer. The other day she told me it would probably be about 8-10 people selling. Well, when I called her today she said they had 20 people signed up for the teams!!! I am so psyched! Of course, some of them may not sell, but they may buy! They want packets for all 20.

Off to scronge up more catalogs.......such a good problem to have......

That is great! I am so happy for you. Keep notes on what you are doing and of what you think worked and didn't as this is the greatest tool you will have for the future. And of course please do continue sharing as we all help each other here.

Thanks! I do have that in their letter explaining to them what to do. And I told them they could give me the email addresses and I would invite them for them.
