"Give Aways" at Fundraisers

[Karolyn]

What do some of you buy to give away at a Fundraiser booths at a community "good cause" sale a thon?

[ShanaSmith]

At booths and such I only give away mini catalogs and recipe cards. Then I usually do a drawing, which is something out of my closet of never ending products.

Do you mean for a raffle or something? To raise money for the good cause? I try to have them do a cooking show first, I give the 10-15% and they get the host benefits to raffle off.

This is a Fundraiser for Breast Imaging Equipment at our local hospital. All the vendors have been asked to bring items (totalling #700 pieces). I know some had pencils prited or somehow got balloons with P.C. logo on them. I was just wondering what you would do, so your name and the company's name was something they would think about after they got home and emptied their goodie bag. I had some 2" red clips mini bag clips (not quixit) printed up with a P.C. logo, and I'll attach a business card to it with a ribbon. What have others done?

I've ordered the pink ribbon pins from PC and attached it to a recipe card and coupon for 10% off their order or free $20 gift with a show booked in OCT/Nov.

You need 700 items though? That would get very expensive for the pins.

Oh, I've also stapled these to the cards,

I would try a recipe card, possibly with a HWC pin attached. Maybe have a coupon printed up for 10% off their order by October 31 - add HWC info...just thoughts....
