Hi everyone. I need a little help. I want to do a HWC fundraiser, but how do I set it up? I went onto my PWS and set up a fundraiser, designated it as HWC, but you can't order the HWC pink products.
Here is my question. If I email and call people to tell them I'm doing a fundraiser, but don't actually enter one and instead just have them place individual orders, what is the best way to then donate the % to HWC? Or is there another way to do it? I know most of the people on my contacts list would want to be able to order the pink products for this type of fundraiser, so I don't want to eliminate that for them.
 
The pink products have to be ordered separately online and cannot be ordered as part of a show. Doesn't make a lot of sense with the HWC fundraisers, but that's how it works in October.
 
I had the same problem. Maybe we should ask to have that changed for next year. Thoughts?
 
I think we would sell a lot more pink stuff if people could order through a show! Or at least through a fundraiser. I told all of my customers to email me orders for pink stuff and I would also donate my commission, I'm just going to place one big individual order at the end of the month, since we get emails re our online activity I'll watch that too and donate from those as well.
 
REmember that only 10 items can be ordered at a time online....at least that is for the outlet not sure about HWC items....good luck! If you wanted to increase the sales on that order you could throw in some outlet as well. I have a recruit that does an outlet order every couple of months and she usually has $300 in orders from there.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a HWC Fundraiser and how does it work?

A HWC Fundraiser, or Helping Whip Cancer Fundraiser, is an initiative by Pampered Chef that allows hosts to organize events where a percentage of sales is donated to cancer-related charities. Hosts can choose to donate a portion of their sales to HWC, and the funds raised support various cancer research and education programs.

How do I organize a HWC Fundraiser?

To organize a HWC Fundraiser, start by selecting a date for your event and inviting guests. You can host a traditional in-home party, a virtual party, or a combination of both. During the event, explain the purpose of the fundraiser and how the donations will help. Make sure to promote the event through social media and personal invitations to maximize attendance.

What percentage of sales is donated to HWC?

The percentage of sales donated to HWC can vary depending on the host's preference. Typically, hosts can choose to donate 10%, 15%, or 20% of their total sales. It’s important to communicate this percentage to guests so they understand how their purchases contribute to the cause.

Are there any specific products that need to be sold for the HWC Fundraiser?

No specific products are required for the HWC Fundraiser. Hosts can sell any Pampered Chef products during the event. However, it’s beneficial to highlight products that are popular or have a strong appeal to your audience to encourage sales and maximize donations.

How do I submit the donations after the fundraiser?

After the fundraiser, you will need to calculate the total sales and the percentage you’ve decided to donate. You can then submit the donation through the Pampered Chef website or directly to the HWC organization, following the guidelines provided by Pampered Chef. Make sure to keep records of the sales and donations for your own reference and for transparency with your guests.
