Is this an Inappropriate Fundraiser?
I am preparing my fundraising strategy for this year's blood cancer research fundraising walk. This is extremely near and dear to me.
I have several things already perculating for fundraisers, including traditional donation request letters, a chocolate party, bake sales, happy hours, etc.
Seperately, I was going to have a "naughty" party. I had one a few years ago and it was a great success. A friend suggested I make this a fundraiser as well.
I have not spoken to the consultant to ensure we can do this as a fundraiser yet because I am not sure how I feel about it being a fundraiser. There is a significant chance I am overthinking this.
Ultimately, I guess I don't really care where the money comes from, as long as it is not immoral or illegal, and this is neither.
WDYT? Tacky?
Re: Is this an Inappropriate Fundraiser?
Stand up for something you believe in.
I almost fell off my chair! It would be for friends only ;o)
Are you asking if it would be inappropriate to do this and not invite US? Then yes! ;-)
I have a friend who hosts Pampered Chef parties with proceeds going to a charity. As she does, I'd recommend you just be upfront about what kind of party it is, and where the proceeds go. (I actually only buy stuff b/c it's for the charity. I certainly don't need overpriced kitchen goods.)
I think it sounds like fun! Go for it!
what's a chocolate party? I want in on that one!
