I don't have a template but...I have three planned for May this year and I decided to make it as easy as possible. I picked three cities and have set up places to hold them. I had three people ask sponsor these as hosts. These people will help me set up and take orders and take down.
I purchased alot of the Help Whip Cancer pins, you get them on the supply order listing, 15 for $2.00, to give to high buyers at the fundraiser and concocted a flyer that says "HELP WHIP CANCER" with the when and where and that items are ordered and will be delievered, (just so there is no confusion about how it works), and that's it.
With the help of my hosts, these signs will be placed through out the cities where the event is being held. At businesses, maybe the local papers, etc.
No food, no fuss. If anyone asks why there is no food, it is simply to make sure ALL the money goes where it is needed, to Cancer Research.
Hope this helps.

HWC Fundraiser
I am interested in doing a HWC fundraiser (my mom had breast cancer a few years ago). I was going to ask her if she would be interested in helping with the fundraiser, and I wanted to contact the local Cancer Society here in town. Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach them? I work for the local hospital, so I know a lot of the people that work at our local Cancer Center. Any ideas would be helpful. Also--would I run the fundraiser just like any other fundraiser, with the exception of the HWC products being available?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
