Here's my situation: I got an email yesterday from our gym/club in town. They are doing a Fundraiser Car Wash/Lemonade stand today to raise money for their Relay for Life team. The Relay is May 15-16th. I got the two ladies email addresses who are leading the team. I was thinking about sending them an email or flyer introducing myself and giving them another Fundraiser option.
Since that's about 4 weeks till their event, and I've never done one before in my life, would it be better to suggest a Catalog-type fundraiser, or I'm thinking a single Cooking Show event (maybe end of the month - 1-2 weeks out) in conjunction with catalog/outside orders. What would give them enough time to get the funds from PC? How long should you really allow for a Fundraiser?
Also- since they are doing it with ACS, can they do a regular HWC fundraiser with funds going to the ACS, but have their Team name on it somehow so they get credit for it for the relay? Or do we do a normal fundraiser?
I'd love to figure out the best options to present to them-instead of looking like I have no clue what I'm talking about -which I don't!
