I am trying to figure out how to do a HWC Cancer fundraiser with a certain group, but I do not want to break the rules about advertising on the internet. I know posting our website is a big no no, but I wanted to see what I could work out.
Thanks!
 
If it's for an organization, you can get approval to have a link to your website on their website...so it's not completely against the rules. Just don't activate a link until you get approval. When you set up their fundraiser online, you can send in an application at the same time. Of course, you'll have to wait until Monday to do that, though.:rolleyes:

I already tried that and I did not get approved.
 
These are the latest version of the policies I had saved. There might be a newer one, but these are from March, so I doubt it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a HWC Cancer Fundraiser?

A HWC (Helping Women Connect) Cancer Fundraiser is an event organized to raise funds for cancer research, support services, and awareness initiatives. These fundraisers often involve direct sales companies like Pampered Chef, where a portion of the sales proceeds is donated to cancer-related charities.

How can I ensure my HWC Cancer Fundraiser is respectful?

To ensure your fundraiser is respectful, focus on creating a supportive environment. Acknowledge the seriousness of cancer, avoid making it a sales pitch, and emphasize the cause. Share personal stories, if appropriate, and encourage participants to share their experiences in a sensitive manner.

What are some effective ways to promote my HWC Cancer Fundraiser?

Promote your fundraiser through social media, email newsletters, and community boards. Create engaging content that highlights the cause, shares personal stories, and explains how the funds will be used. Collaborate with local businesses and influencers to reach a wider audience.

How should I handle sensitive topics during the fundraiser?

Be mindful of the language you use and the topics you address. Avoid graphic descriptions of cancer experiences and instead focus on hope, support, and community. Allow participants to share their stories at their comfort level and provide a safe space for those who may be grieving or affected by cancer.

What portion of the sales goes to cancer-related charities?

The portion of sales donated to cancer-related charities can vary by event and organizer. Typically, direct sales companies like Pampered Chef may offer a percentage of sales, often around 10-20%, but it's essential to clarify this with the company and communicate it transparently to participants.
