For the HWC fundraisers, if an organization (ex: Lady's Golf Club) has a fundraiser with the funds going to ACS. Will the check to ACS be noted as to what organization it is from. These ladies are serious about their causes and want their name to be noted. TIA.
 
good question - I'd like to know too.
 
when you put a fundraiser on pp it ask for Name of organization and who the check should be made out to. Some I am guessing yes.
 
If you do a standard FR, the golf club can have the check made out to them (i.e. Women's Gold Club of City), and then they would write a check to ACS from their club's treasury. Then they'd get credit from ACS. If they do a FR and name ACS as the organization, all they'll be doing is passing along the check from PC, and may not be recognized, if any identification that it's from them gets separated from the check.
 
Hello there! Thank you for bringing up this important question. As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have had the pleasure of working with various organizations and fundraisers, and I understand the importance of recognizing and acknowledging their efforts. In regards to your question, the check to ACS will definitely be noted as to what organization it is from. We want to make sure that all the hard work and dedication put into the fundraiser is properly recognized and appreciated. Thank you for your support and for choosing Pampered Chef to be a part of your fundraising efforts. Best of luck with your event!
