Fundraising DO's and DON'TS

Here's a couple of guidelines that need to be followed when Fundraising...

We Cannot Sell …                        

• Anything with American Cancer Society or Relay For Life logo and/or name on it.  (Example, items purchased from the Relay Gear catalog)
• Items that can be purchased from or returned to a store, vendor, or the internet.

But, We Can Sell …

• Homemade cookbooks (with Team Name only)
• Handmade holiday crafts
• Baked goods
• In Honor, In Memory, and In Support of Sun and Moon Donation Cards
• (See your Team Recruitment Chair or American Cancer Society Staff Partner)            
• Services (car washes, yard work, house cleaning, etc.)
• Activities (bowling, skate parties, trivia nights, etc.)
• Garage/Yard Sales 

Caution …

The American Cancer Society has very specific guidelines about raffles.  As a nonprofit organization, we must adhere to state and federal guidelines.  Check with your American Cancer Society Staff Partner regarding the prospect of holding a raffle in your division.

If you ever have any other questions regarding fundraising guidelines, please contact your ACS Staff Partner. For those of you in Harrisonburg/Rockingham County, please contact Annika Dean at 434-3360 :)

Happy Relaying!
