Let’s End Childhood Cancer. Together.

Suite Elite Member inserting cash into a donation jar for St. Jude.

Every year Suite Elite Members & their clients help make our September St. Jude Children’s Research Fundraiser a success. Help us make a difference for those who need it most during our annual fundraising event for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. How can you and your clients contribute to this great cause? No matter how big or small you’d like to participate, we’ve put together the ultimate playbook with Members’ best fundraising ideas to get your suite involved in promoting this charitable event. Our community goes far beyond the walls of our suites. And we want all of our Suite Elite Members to help us make the whole world a little brighter. You too can make an impact on the lives of St.Jude families and give kids a chance to grow up. Keep scrolling for a few fundraising ideas you can use this September.

Ways to fundraise:

  • Share your location’s fundraising link on all of your social media platforms and communication with your clients, family and friends.
  • Purchase jars to place on your styling station to collect spare change.
  • Host a ‘fill the calendar’ challenge. Have people take a day of the month and sponsor that day. 
    • For example: Emily chooses September 1’s = she donates $1. Jack chose September 16th = he would donate $16 dollars. Fill up the calendar and you can raise $465 dollars towards St. Jude!
  • Connect with your beauty distributor sales rep/stores – request a gift basket to raffle to clients.
  • Create a social media photo frame and feature all clients who donate.
  • Choose one day of the month for a group effort with suite mates, for example:
    • Offer conditioning treatments at $5-$10 of which 100% or 50% goes to St. Jude.
    • Give complimentary product samples to clients that donate $10 or more (ask distributors for sample product donations.)
  • Ask everyone you know to donate items for sale or raffle – family, friends, neighbors, and service guests who may own businesses. Reach beyond your immediate connections.
  • Advertise and put up plenty of posters. Post notices on your social networking sites. Ask everyone to repost and share with you. 
  • Art sale, craft sale, bake sale… whatever you can think of!
  • Weekly raffles to clients for products or services.
  • Sell branded T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and anything you can think of and put a percentage towards St. Jude.

Get Social!

  • Post your fundraiser on Instagram, Facebook and any other social media outlet you love.
  • Create a personal thermometer for your clients to see your progress!
  • Share with your family, friends, clients and followers.
  • Visit the Marketing Guide that is available to you on the Suite Elite website – there are story posts for you to download and use on your social media platforms! 

Incorporate one of these ideas into your suite or use your own FLAIR! Don’t forget to use the hashtag #SuiteReliefStJude and you could have a chance to win a $500 gift card AND a match in donations to St. Jude. Remember to enter your submission by September 30th. September is only halfway over. Help Us End Childhood Cancer. Together!
