Great website to help you with fundraising

Sometimes it is easier to ask someone to buy something than to just ask for a donation.

There is a website called Fund Raising for a Cause and it offers lots of great pink ribbon items with easy to purchase pricing...buy one item and see how easy it is to raise your donations!

Are you....

Hi ladies,

Things you should be doing to get ready....

We should have your bio for the website! So far I only have 2! This is a vital piece of your donation process. Without this you can not direct people to the website to donate on-line.

Looking for a few sponsors, those are the folks who's businesses you frequest, maybe your dentist, your hair salon, cleaners, gym...or a friend that owns their own business. If you need copies of the letters in your notebook to send out, let me know and I'll send them to you in an e-mail! If they donate a $100.00 or more towards your goal, we'll post them on the Blog as event sponsors!

Getting ready to send out letters or e-mails to your address lists! Again, you should have letters in your notebook to use for this. My mom sends out about 100 letters and then approaches everyone she works with and she has raised over $2,000.00 each year.

Start working on your stuff for the CropMeet! (For the particiapants of the 3Day Crop only): This will be a great time for you to do some fund raising. Remember this event will be on Saturday, September 26 from 9am until 9pm. You will be able to put items out for the YardSale, submit Silent Auction items, teach classes and host meal options.

I'm so excited!!!!

It's so cool, we have people starting to register to the 3Day Crop at French Valley and even for the 1Day Crop! So far we have 5 seats already taken at the 3Day Crop! So we need only 7 more to fill up the crop! It's so cool to see an idea actually become a reality! We might be a small group, but we're hoping to bring in BIG money!!!!

Keep those registrations coming in! I'll post a list of participants in a few days! It's not too late for you to join us!

Sheila

Registration Opened today!!!

Yea-haw we opened registration today for the 3-Day Crop! I sure hope that you will be joining us! I'll be sending out the Notebooks as registrations come in! Please let me know if you have any questions!
