Do ALL fundraisers HAVE to be HWC fundraisers if they are held in May? Meaning, I was going to try to book some fundraisers for May selling JUST the HWC products. But this would be a fundraiser for MY Breast Cancer 3-day walk and two other past customers I know of that are also walking the Breast Cancer 3 day. SO, I know you can host fundraisers where the money goes to the Cancer Society in May. But can you also host some where the host gets a check from PC. I also plan to donate MY check to their walk. But I want to know how much to tell them they will get.

Thanks!
 
You can do a regualar fundraiser. The normal 10 to 15% contribution rates apply.
 
How does the fundraiser program work? Could someone host a fundraiser show for someone that has cancer and donate the check to them?
 
You can do a fundraiser for any non-individual. If you want to raise money for someone to pay their medical bills, then they need to have an account like "Betty Host Fund." HO will not make the check out to an individual.
 


Hi there! Thank you for your inquiry about hosting a fundraiser with HWC products in May. While it is not a requirement for all fundraisers to be specifically for HWC, it is a great option to consider as the proceeds will go towards a good cause. However, you can absolutely host a fundraiser where the host receives a check from Pampered Chef. We have a variety of fundraising options available and would be happy to discuss them with you further. As for the amount that would be donated, it would depend on the total sales from the fundraiser. We would be happy to provide you with an estimate once we have more details about the event. Thank you for supporting such a great cause and we look forward to working with you! Best,
