3rd Party Fundraising
What is 3rd Party Fundraising?
When you and/or your organization want to benefit LOCAL breast cancer patients and decide to run a fundraiser benefiting Keepers of the Flame Foundation.
Examples:
- Have a bake sale
- Jeans Day at work/school for a cause
- Have your sports team run a competition (make it fun, make it wacky, make it fiercely competitive… it’s your event, you get to decide)
- Car wash
- Create a friendly competition between two groups in your line of work
- Donate a % of proceeds to KotF
- Hold office competitions like “boss for a day” raffle or parking space auction organized by staff members
What to do:
- Decide what kind of fundraiser you want to do (work to your strengths, have fun)
- Let Keepers of the Flame Foundation know. We’d love to help promote you/your business and share pictures too.
- Run the fundraiser
- Submit all funds raised to Keepers of the Flame, and we will provide you with a tax-exempt donation letter.
