Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Roxanne, You may want to also consider raising money for CF foundations that are smaller and less visible in the community. CF Foundation is a wonderful organization, but they do get an extreme amount of money. Most of the money they raise goes into research, which we need desperately, but with Boomer Esiason involved they get the exposure like no other CF organization. There are CF organizations in almost every state of the US that raise money for CF and for the CF people to help them. When I get a donation from a family friend or neighbor and they tell me to contribute it to a good CF cause, I give it to the small groups. You might want to think of donating it to your local CF hospital to a parent group, or to a newsletter they produce, or to a CF newsletter, or to a group like Reaching Out, or Lungs For Life Foundation, they are small and great about helping the little guy.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 I know that some people hold skating partys, some hold dress down days at school thats where kids if they wear uniforms can pay a dollar or so and wear jeans to school to raise money, or they can have a hat day for cf, same concept. Others have had Harley rides for Cf. I have heard about where someone in our community got together with a local restaurant and on a specific day a percentage of food and beverage sales all went to CF. The restaurant encouraged the people who organized the event to send out and pass out letters to people announcing the event and if they brought in a flyer everything they bought a % was donated to CF, they raised alot of money. From what I understand you can pretty much do anything legal to raise money for CF. Good luck Re: fund raising question In a message dated 12/31/2002 10:30:21 AM Central Standard Time, drywallnelson@... writes: > > > does anyone know how i can do any fund raising legaly for the cf > foundation? or know what the fund raising laws are..

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Roxanne, Contact your local Cf Foundation office. They will take ANY money you can raise. Tell them what you want to do and make sure you can put the Cf Foundation name on it..it usually is NOT a problem. We have had a Jazz/Gourmet Food/Chocolate Truffle event with a silent auction... a local Lonbergerber basket person just had a longerberger party and donated her proceeds for the sales...plus the normal walk stuff. Our little community raised over $50,000 last year. Good luck! mom to a 3 year old w/cf and a 5 1/2 year old wo/cf > does anyone know how i can do any fund raising legaly for the cf > foundation? or know what the fund raising laws are..
