This is the Have a
Heart Children's Cancer Society Fundraising Ideas page. We have received
a lot of e-mails & requests from people of "how one can help". If you
had also wanted some ideas for your Have a Heart Fundraisers, then this
page is for you! Hopefully this will guide you as to how to organize
your event & help you in the planning.
To make this idea page
flow better, I set up 3 tiers:
HAVE A HEART CHARITY EVENT:
(These are typically
annual charity functions that require charity personnel to help
organize, new ideas are welcome!)
BENEFIT OUTING FUNDRAISING IDEAS:
(These require a
small committed team to organize, invite friends, family, & coworkers to
the outing, these are loads of fun)
GRASSROOTS FUNDRAISING IDEAS:
(These are fun and
fairly easy to put together, great for kids to get involved helping
other kids!)
Now, here are some

HOW
TO CREATE YOUR HAVE A HEART BENEFIT EBAY AUCTION:
A)All you need is to
choose a representative from your fundraiser organizers whom has an
EBAY account or will open an EBAY account for this.
B)Take a collection of items
from those that wish to take part in the Fundraiser, ask for items
with a minimum value of $50 to increase the probability of success
for the auction.
C)When you list your items
for sale, select to “donate a percentage of sale” which is in
the “selling format” category, then “select a non profit”. In
“select a non profit” type in the words “Have a Heart Children’s
Cancer Society”, it should find us quickly. At this point you may be
prompted to set up a “Missionfish” account. This is a necessary
step and should take you only 2 minutes, this is just a liaison company
that is EBAY certified, that allows you to be able to donate a
percentage of your auction items sale price to the charity. Again,
select “Have a Heart Children’s Cancer Society” from the non profit
list, then choose your percentage of sale price. If you are doing a
Fundraiser or Benefit for us you can select 100% of proceeds aka
“percentage of sale”.
Donate a percentage of sale
D)List all the items that
you have collected, be sure to add a complete description & add
pictures, and to start the auction items with no reserve, if items are
worth up to $100 then start the auction bids at $15 & list for 10
days, if you wanted your fundraiser to start at all the same time to
make it competitive amongst your donors, you have that option on EBAY as
well.

E) Once
all items are listed, the CHARITY AUCTION IS ON!, watch for bids
each day!, It will be exciting to watch for all involved & when the
auction closes everyone involved will have the satisfaction that their
donated items translated into vital funds to directly assist the
afflicted families & children of the Have a Heart Children’s Cancer
Society.
You can
always contact the Charity directly for advice assistance on your
auction!
