Fundraising idea - Krispy Kreme

Here's a great idea for anyone interested in doing a fundraiser for the HPS Network. As I hope you all realize, we are in great need of funds for this year's conference. This would be an especially great fundraiser if you've got access to a high traffic area. We have a number of college students - a college campus would be ideal!



4 Ways To Raise Funds

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Traditional Doughnut Sales
Krispy Kreme offers our doughnuts to non-profit groups at a reduced price, which are then resold for full retail price, or slightly higher. Pre-selling doughnuts to family, friends and neighbors or selling doughnuts at high-traffic areas such as shopping centers or community festivals can generate significant funds.

Check with your local Krispy Kreme store regarding ordering details.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certificates
Certificates are a great alternative to selling actual doughnuts. You sell certificates to family, friends and neighbors, which they can redeem for one dozen Original Glazed® doughnuts (per certificate) at any participating Krispy Kreme retail store. That way they still get the delicious Krispy Kreme doughnut experience, but can time it for the exact moment their Krispy Kreme craving hits! It also means you don’t have to deal with ordering and delivering doughnuts after you’ve made the sale.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partnership Cards
If your school or organization is within 30 minutes of a Krispy Kreme retail store, you may want to consider selling Partnership Cards as a fundraiser. With a Partnership Card, customers get a free dozen Original Glazed® doughnuts with the purchase of a dozen of their choice. Their card gets punched each time they use it, and they can use it up to 10 times (limit 3 free dozen per visit).

Please Note: Partnership cards and certificates are valid only at participating Krispy Kreme retail stores. They are not redeemable at grocery stores or convenience stores or any other location that is not a Krispy Kreme retail store.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coffee
Krispy Kreme’s Signature Coffees are available for fundraising in participating markets. We have four great coffee blends: Smooth, Bold, Rich and Robust Decaf. Try selling 12 oz. bags on their own or with our other fundraising products. When you sell Krispy Kreme Signature Coffees for your fundraising activity, your profit is $3.00 or more per bag. Ask local store managers for details.

Heather - your post today about Krispy Kreme is a great idea. I thought they only did doughnuts. Did you know you could take this one step further? I run a company called Signature Joe (signaturejoe.com). We create personalized fundraisers similar to those famous cookies only with gourmet coffees. The fundraisers can be traditional off-line or completely online or a mix of either. Feel free to give me a call or email.
Cheers, Jeff

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon! Ratner's Cheesecake and plain cookies Ratner's was a Jewish dairy restaurant in the lower East Side of Manhattan. This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid. It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1.

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

Some good news about Pirfenidone

Below is a press release from Intermune, the company that makes Pirfenidone. They have essentially reviewed the various clinical trials going on, and decided that Pirfenidone is safe and well tolerated. That would pretty much go along with what we've observed in the HPS community as well. We have a few folks that have been on the drug since the late 90s and continue to do well. Of course, as a journalist, I do have to say consider the source - but at the same time, as someone in a Pirfenidone trial, it's good to know. Results of Comprehensive Safety Analysis of pirfenidone In IPF Patients Presented At European Respiratory Meeting - Analysis shows safety and tolerability of pirfenidone across four clinical trials - VIENNA, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InterMune, Inc.
