OK, I've got another question for you guys...
I want to do a party where the profits will all go to my favorite charity, but I'm not sure of the protocol. I've been trying to contact the organization to ask them if I need their approval to use their name when I'm telling people about the party and at the party itself, but they haven't gotten back to me, and I wanted to do it before Mother's Day so people could be buying gifts for their moms but also be giving to charity....anyway, have any of you ever heard of any legal problems or anything where a charity might not want their name used at a direct sales party? I could just say the profits will go tocharity, but I'd much rather give out brochures or something so it's not so nebulous, and so people really know who they're helping. Anyone had experience with this?
Thanks!!

I can't imagine it would be a problem if you have the charities permission. You can check with Ar****. I have a fundraiser tomorrow night that benefits The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society....I am donating 25% to the Team In Training participants who are fundraising.
Good luck
