Individuals, companies and groups can host their own card-making event for CFHK. Card-making events are a great way to have fun and give back. Making cards for CFHK can also be incorporated into a pre-planned event such as a conference.
Corporate companies, businesses, schools, colleges, Girl Scout troops, sororities, community organizations and teams are a few examples of the many individuals and groups that have made a difference by hosting their own CFHK card-making event. The event can be as big or small as you wish. Over the years, individuals and groups have hosted events of all different sizes--from large scale corporate events with hundreds or thousands of people, to small community gatherings and everything in between! Often, national companies, with multiple participating locations, opt to host card-making events at several of their locations rather than a centralized event. Examples include: LabCorp, Target, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Hershey, Anytime Fitness, Sephora, Kohl's, UPS and more. CFHK is also approved on the Benevity platform, and other similar matching platforms, where companies can log service hours for their CFHK event. The checklist below can be helpful for planning a card-making event. Supportive materials for an event can also be found on the supportive files page. The CFHK Logo can be used promotion of your event on social media and/or in promo materials with permission from CFHK. If you need assistance designing a social media graphic or flyer for your event, please email Amanda. For assistance crafting a press release for your event to share with local media, please email Amanda. Our team is happy to help! We've successfully helped groups obtain local coverage of their card-making event such as: this story on NBC4 about teens hosting card-making events. Stories like this help inspire others to make cards too. If your event is a good fit for a press release, we can create the release and send it out to local media for you as well as provide supportive materials for any potential story. A template press release can be downloaded here. After the event, mail the cards to CFHK headquarters to be distributed to hospitals. You'll receive a thank you note in the mail after your cards are processed. You can share event photos with us at [email protected]. Schools and companies have also successfully hosted virtual card-making events via Zoom. If you are hosting a virtual event and want Jen or a CFHK team member to virtually join the event, please contact us. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
