An upline leader in my company challenged consultants to host a Party with a Purpose this fall. That is to host either a home or catalog party and donate our commission (which is 25% of the retail price) to a charity of our choice. I have chosen to host a virtual party so I can reach more guests and we can raise more money! In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, I have chosen to host my party to benefit Susan G Komen for the Cure!
To participate, simply purchase any of the following magazine subscriptions through me, a Southern Living at HOME Independent Consultant. Cost is $19.95 (no shipping or tax) per subscription and $5.00 of every subscription sold will be donated to this worthy cause!
Coastal Living – 20 issues
Real Simple – 12 issues
Cottage Living – 18 issues
Cooking Light – 24 issues
Southern Accents – 7 issues
Health – 20 issues
All You – 24 issues
Sunset – 12 issues
Money donated helps fund life-saving mammograms. I read somewhere that a mammogram costs around $150 – which equates to just 30 subscriptions! What if we were able to fund more more than one mammogram!
Please contact me by clicking on Komen Fundraiser Inquiry near the top left of my blog for details on how to purchase your subscription(s) through my website. The link will automatically populate the subject so I can easily keep track of inquiries.
Can’t decide which magazine to order? Deal Seeking Mom recommends All You magazine – check out this post to find out why! As it turns out our price of $19.95 for 2 years seems to be one of the best out there. And with $5 being donated to a cause we all care about it is an even better deal! She wrote about this a few days ago and we have already raised $75 from her post alone!
Now to the fun stuff! Everyone that places an order will be entered into a drawing to win your choice – a FREE magazine subscription OR this cute little holiday door bucket (brand new and empty – yours to design as you please)!
To help spread the word, post a blurb about this fundraiser on your blog to gain an extra chance to win. After you have published your post, please leave a comment so I can be sure to count you in the drawing!
I am hosting this party through October 24. Be sure to tell your non-bloggy friends, too! I can’t wait to see how many mammograms we end up funding!!!

Good luck with your fundraiser!!

This is such a great thing to do! I wish I could order a magazine but I am under strict orders to not subscribe to any more mags!
I hope you do really well!
