Hello everyone, I work in a local bar and grill in McKinney. We are trying to organize a fundraising event in October to support the Susan G Komen Foundation. I have never done anything like this before and could use a little help. We are trying to get local businesses to donate things that we can auction or raffle off. All the proceeds will go to the Susan G Komen Foundation. So far we are have gotten quite a few things to use,gift certificates, cookbooks, karate lessons, hair cuts and styling, massages, facials, yoga lessons and many other things. We want to make this as big as possible and raise as much money as we can. Do any of you have any experience in this sort of thing? What businesses should we ask and what is the best way to ask? Would any of you moms with home based business be interested in participating? Do any of you know anyone who might be interested in participating? Any advice and help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!!!
I can do the face Painting! Even if it's just for adults, I cater to them, too. There are several ways to work out the details--email me!

Hi J.,
What a great thing you and your company is doing for the community! I run a local resource website for McKinney Moms called www.momunity.org. I would love to help you get the word out about your event and your need for sponsorship! We have a local events calendar and a newsletter we could use to promote your charity event.
Email me at ____@____.com if you are interested!
Thanks! K. Saylor
Call USA Martial Arts. They will donate a certificate for classes and a uniform. I think they have six different locations. www.usamartialartsfitness.com

Hello! I may be intersted in helping out. I am a Pampered Chef rep. I am not sure what I can do to help but know that October we usually do a fund raiser too! A % of sales is donated to the charity of my choice and would be happy to do what I can! I would like to keep talking with you about this. My email is ____@____.com
Hi, J.-
I would be happy to help you set up the silent auction. (Show you how to organize it.) I did a HUGE silent auction (over 200 items) for our Boy Scout Troop. We typed up a letter with the Boy Scout logo and gave it to the scouts. They took it to local businesses and solicited donations for the auctions. On the letter, it said that if they were unable to donate an item, they could donate cash. We didn't get less than $5.00 from the people who could not donate items. (It sounds small, but it adds up.) People donated wonderful items and the auction was a tremendous success. You can email me at ____@____.com or call me at ###-###-####. Good luck!! L. Davis
Hi J.,
I have a home based business in which I introduce people to a wellness company. Would be glad to put together a gift basket. Just contact me and let know when and where. I believe the biggest issue is always getting the word out. I have a large network from other volunteer work I do and will be more than happy to send an email to friends etc. We have several breast cancer survivors in my Sunday school class who participated in the walks too. Good idea
Hi J., I walked in the 3Day last year. I write suspense books and would love to do a book signing on the night of the auction and give the profit to the charity.
