One of the nibbles I've gotten from doing a recent show is to provide product samples and/or donations in support of a charity event this fall. The event is called the Scream Scram and supports both Multiple Sclerosis research as well as pediatric cancer research and support. The event is in its 9th year, I've googled both the event and the PR firm that contacted me and they appear legitimate. So while I am in no position financially to make an outright monetary donation I am considering some product donations as an advertising method. I could potentially get a booth near the start/finish line to display some product and information. My logo and information would be included in some press release stuff, etc... They are also looking for freebies to give to the participants, like lip balms. Since the business portion of this is all still young for me (less than 1 year of being legitimate and online) I am always on the lookout for ways to get my name and product out there. This looks like a decent way to do that and associate myself with a good cause at the same time. My question for y'all is have you ever participated in a charity event like this where you get no immediate $$$ return, in fact you put yourself out there with considerable product investment (could "cost" me around $500), and what has your experience with it been?
