Fondue for a Cure
 Many of you have told us, "I want to fundraise for the IFCR, but I just don't know where to begin." We have listened and we now have an easy and fun way to help you get started on your fundraising journey.
We would like to introduce Fondue For A Cure, your one-stop shop to get you started on your first (or fifth) fundraising event. Fondue parties are fun, casual, easy to prepare, and easy to clean-up afterward.
This is your fundraiser and you can customize it the way you want:
- You can substitute Fondue for any appetizer, meal, or wine tasting
- It can be as small or as big as you want it
- It can be hosted at your home, or at your neighborhood café, or at a small event center or hall
- For added fun, your party can have a theme (ie. 80’s night)
There are several ways to make this party a fundraiser:
- You can include a dollar amount per person on the invitation for them to attend the event (donations are tax deductable)
- You can ask for attendees to donate any amount they can
- You can ask for donations in lieu of a hostess gift
- You can request donations from friends, acquaintances, or local businesses and auction off raffle basket(s) or have a silent auction at the party
- You can play various games at your party and ask for a small fee to participate
The hardest part is getting started. We have done the work for you.
You can click below to download party flyers, invitations, recipes, and thank you notes. Feel free to customize them specifically for your fundraiser, or create your own!
There are several websites that help you organize and throw a great fondue party. You can find more fondue recipes, party tips, and even fondue etiquette (we really like www.fonduebits.com and www.theme-party-queen.com).
We know that you will have so much fun organizing the fondue party that you will continue to make it your own each year. It will also give you the confidence to branch out into other fundraising directions for the IFCR.
