Thank you for your interest in hosting a third-party fundraising event to benefit Project Pink’d, Inc. These types of fundraisers assist in raising critical funds for our mission, and we are grateful for your support.
A third-party fundraising event is any activity by a non-affiliated group or individual, where Project Pink’d, Inc. has no fiduciary responsibility or involvement in the fundraiser. These fundraisers are hosted by an outside party who wishes to hold a promotion, event, activity, or sale to benefit Project Pink’d, Inc.
The following guidelines have been developed to protect you, the host, and Project Pink’d, Inc.
