Is it possible to do a fundraiser in May that the check does not go to the American Cancer Society? The fine print on the HWC flyer says all contributions are made in the form of a check to the ACS. I have a group of women that are raising money for the August 3-Day Walk and would like to tie a fundraiser in with the HWC products to raise money for their team. Are there any experienced consultants out there that can tell me if this can be done. Thank you.
 
Yes. Just don't mark the HWC box. Submit it as a fundraiser to the name of the group the funds are to go to just like any other month.

Thank you Beth! I went into P3 this morning and looked, but couldn't find the answer. I thought it might be as simple as indicating HWC someplace in our paperwork! Thanks again.

When you are setting up a May fundraiser in P3 there'll be a box to check HWC during that month. Just don't check it and you'll be fine.

Thank you for letting me know where in P3 the question is asked. I really appreciate your help this morning.
 
Just remember that if it is not a HWC fundraiser, you don't get the extra percentage. A regular fundraiser in May gets the regular percentage donation.
 
Thank you so much for all this helpful information - I was going to post the very same question, but you've all answered it for me. I love this site!!!!!!

Am I blind? I have a HWC fundraiser that I added to P3 today, but I cannot find the check box for the life of me. The show is May 8th :confused:
 
Maybe P3 hasn't been updated with the box yet. It should be near the same area as where you would mark a co-host, if I remember correctly.
 
Thanks... I was going to ask this question today! I have friends doing a walk, too.. and we are having a fundraiser for them.
 
I have a fundraiser in May too, for a host who is in the Susan G Komen 3 Day Cancer Walk. I was given conflicting information about the % of the commission from HO. One said only 15% unless it is HWC. Another said 20%.
I explained that it was not HWC but the Susan G Komen Walk. To be honest I think it kinda stinks:grumpy: that other cancer fundraisers are not given the same %.
I am trying to finish the flyers/invitations but want to be 100% sure about it.
If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.
 
I work for the ACS. Help Whip Cancer is for the ACS only because the ACS logo & registered trademark are used by PC in conjunction with the pink products and HWC fundraisers. The contract PC has for HWC is exclusive to the ACS. Susan G. Komen and the Avon 3-Day are not affiliated with the ACS. Just thought this would help clarify.....
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 'Normal' Fundraiser for the 3-Day Walk and a HWC Fundraiser?

A 'Normal' Fundraiser for the 3-Day Walk typically involves traditional fundraising methods, such as bake sales or car washes, where participants directly collect donations. In contrast, a HWC (Healthy Workplace Challenge) Fundraiser focuses on promoting health and wellness while raising funds, often through activities that encourage physical fitness and healthy living, such as group workouts or wellness challenges.

How do the fundraising goals differ between the two types of fundraisers?

The fundraising goals for a 'Normal' Fundraiser are usually centered around a specific monetary target to support the 3-Day Walk event. In a HWC Fundraiser, the goals may also include promoting health awareness and community engagement, alongside raising funds, which can lead to a more holistic approach to fundraising.

Can I use Pampered Chef products in both types of fundraisers?

Yes, Pampered Chef products can be utilized in both types of fundraisers. For a 'Normal' Fundraiser, you might host a cooking party or sell products directly to raise funds. In a HWC Fundraiser, you could incorporate healthy cooking demonstrations or workshops featuring Pampered Chef products to promote healthy eating while raising money.

What are some effective strategies for promoting each type of fundraiser?

For a 'Normal' Fundraiser, effective strategies include leveraging social media, creating flyers, and engaging local businesses for support. For a HWC Fundraiser, you might focus on community events, partnerships with local gyms or health organizations, and promoting the health benefits of participating in the fundraiser, alongside the fundraising aspect.

Are there any tax implications for donations made through these fundraisers?
