Child safety in fundraising is the absolute top priority when trying to raise funds. That is why we discourage any student from selling door-to-door or selling to strangers.
Fundraising Safety Tips – Do’s and Don’ts:
- Always, always think safety first.
- Make a list of friends, family, relatives, and neighbors to contact instead of selling door-to-door.
